Is the label taken off the beer somewhere between the brewery and the pub?

Looks like it riffs off a Merrill Lynch ad campaign from the time (this one's from 1975, but I think the ads go back before 1972).

That's scary accurate.

(this might have been the original "Rainiers" spot, I'm not 100% sure)

Weird but the crunchy quirky PNW kind of weird. Wildly successful in its time.

I can see that! If only it had stopped there though...

Here's 1997.
1997 official Oktoberfest poster. Shows a king whose head is a mug of beer (the foam filling in for the crown). But it is all very crudely drawn and in bold solid colors, as though created in a rush in MS Paint.
