Tacoma Washington Mugs
Description: My personal spin on local humor. 'Keep Tacoma Feared' with dreary grey skies(It's never sunny here), Galloping Gertie (the old Tacoma Narrows Bridge, so poorly designed that it collapsed into the Sound), King Octopus (local sea monster), and Mount Rainier (an active volcano predicted to erupt within the next few decades and annihilate Tacoma. lol.) Stay way, Seattle folks. There is only despair here.

Description: Emil Kliese was a 35-year-old, German-born brewmaster who had emigrated in 1883, and by 1890 was working at a brewery in St. Louis. In the mid-1890's, Kliese made his way west, securing a position with Capital Brewing Co. in Tumwater, Washington, and by 1899, he was their head brewmaster. An opportunity arose when some investors in Tacoma wanted to open a brewery and required an expert brewmaster. Kliese wanted to run his own brewery. So he, along with, William C. Kiltz, filled for articles of incorporation in February 1900 to brew and sell at wholesale and retail beer and other malt beverages at as the Columbia Brewing Company. The brewery was located at 2120 on South C Street in Tacoma in a five-story building built over an artesian well.
