Tumwater, WA, Monday, March 5, 2012
While the Olympia Brewery in Tumwater closed in 2003, fans of Olympia Beer now have a new way to show their colors — a Gold Visa affinity credit card offered by O Bee Credit Union to celebrate the popular local icon. Working with Pabst Blue Ribbon, the current owners of the iconic images of Olympia Beer, O Bee Credit Union negotiated the licensing for the use of the Olympia brand on this Gold Visa card. According to Lucas Murdock, Brand Manager with Pabst Brewing Company, “Olympia remains a hugely popular, iconic brand with fans from all across the nation. However, locally in Washington state, we expect that O Bee will find plenty of new cardholders interested in reconnecting with the Olympia brand.”
“We are excited because it means the Oly brand and icon are returning to Tumwater where it originated,” notes Lee Wojnar. “We expect this Visa card to be very popular with our members and the local community. The new card offers 1% cash back with no limits on every purchase. Rate is variable. For details, go to www.obee.com . Anyone interested in the card can apply online 24/7.
