Not only is Oly lousy beer, but they once had the world's worst advertizing agency. How else do you account for a couple of ad campaigns with slogans like:

"It's the water" and

"NO BEER on the bar is better than Oly!"
(I agree, I'd rather have No Beer than drink Oly)

The latter is the one that finally turned Oly from a growing regional brewer back into a local product hard to find outside Washington. Talk about stupidity in advertizing. That one ranks right up there with GM marketing a car called the Nova in Latin America. ("No va" in Spanish means "it doesn't go")
