About
Olympia’s story begins with founder Leopold Schmidt, born in Germany in 1846. As an adult Leopold was an adventurer with the blind ambition of sailing the high seas, exploring the American Frontier, and mastering the art of German brewing. After training as a brewmaster in his homeland, the wild beauty of a new world was beckoning – Leopold set his sights on America. In 1895 he arrived in the Northwest and the following year founded Capital Brewing Company, which would become the famous Olympia Brewing Company.

Admin Note: Olympia was purchased by Pabst in 1999. The Olympia Brewing Company was a brewery in the northwest United States, located in Tumwater, Washington, near Olympia. The Tumwater brewery was closed in 2003.

Headless yellow bordering on fluorescence. Almost no aroma save light acetaldehyde and even lighter graininess. Very harsh carbonation dominates. Light malt and grain sweetness. Hints of alcohol in the finish. Quite watery.
