Authorized Dispenser 

Starting with repeal and the first Olympia sold in 1934 Olympia Brewing created the authorized draught dispenser program. The aim of the program was to provide the public with the knowledge that only the finest of establishments meeting the strict quality control of the brewery would be allowed to dispense Olympia Beer on draft. From 1934 through the early 1950's Olympia advertising would always place a premium on promoting the authorized dispenser. The distinct neon sign the certificate and tap handle all would indicate a draft account
