    Larry Sidor Oral History Interview, November 6, 2015 Title “From Olympia to Deschutes to Crux: A Brewer's Life” Date November 6, 2015 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In the interview, Sidor discusses his family background and rural upbringing in La Grande, Oregon, commenting on his father's activities as an OSU Extension Agent, his own boyhood interests in mechanical work, and the life histories of his mother and his siblings. From there, Sidor recounts his undergraduate years at Oregon State University, noting his switch in majors from Mechanical Engineering to Food Science, and commenting on the curriculum then available to undergraduates in the Food Science department. Sidor likewise reflects on the research that he conducted while a student and, in particular, his interest in winemaking during that time. From there, Sidor details the circumstances by which he declined a handful of job opportunities in the wine industry, opted instead to travel for a year in Europe, and began considering a career in brewing as a result of his experiences in Germany. He then traces his first connection with the Olympia Brewing Company; outlines his advancement within the company from packing quality control technician, to assistant brewmaster, to operations manager; shares his perspective on the brewing culture then prevalent at Olympia; and speaks of the connections that he made with hop growers in Washington and Oregon. Sidor next provides an overview of his years working at the S.S. Steiner company, shares his memories of the rise of microbreweries in the 1980s and 1990s, and reflects on the relationships that Steiner maintained with agricultural scientists at OSU.

"Beer" means any fermented malt beverage containing one-half of one percent or more of alcohol by volume, brewed or produced from malt, wholly or in part, or from any substitute for malt. Beer includes lager beer, dark beer, bock beer, malt liquor and ale. 2. "HHI" means the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, a measure of market concentration calculated by squaring the market share of each firm compet ing in the market and then summing the resulting numbers. For example, for a market consisting of four firms with s hares of 30, 30, 20, and 20 per cent, the HHI is 2600 (302 + 302 + 202 + 202 = 2600). The HHI takes into account the relative size and distribution of the firms in a market. It approaches zero when a market is occupied by a large number of firms of relatively equal size and reaches its maximum of 10,000 when a market is . - . controlled by a single firm. The HHI increases both as the number of firms in the market decreases and as the disparity in size between those firms increases. II JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. This complaint is filed and this action is instituted against the defendants under Section 15 of the Act of Congress of October 15, 1914 (15 u.s.c.

  • Seattle Trademark History Tour
    HISTO RK RY A TO M U E R D A O F R T Visit Foley Hoag’s Trademark & Copyright Law blog at trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com foleyhoag.com SEATTLE TRADEMARK HISTORY TOUR This year, the great city of Seattle, Washington is the location of both the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting (May 19-23) and the American Intellectual Property Law Association Spring Meeting (May 15-17). If you are one of the many lawyers attending these events and you want a Seattle trademark experience, you could do the obvious and visit locations associated with the city’s famous modern brands. Alternatively, you could go back in time a bit further. Washington became the 42nd state in 1889, the same year the Great Seattle Fire destroyed much of the city. A combination of new railroad lines and post-fire construction led to a boom in population and commercial activity. On July 17, 1897, this already-promising economic climate went into hyper-drive when the S.S. Portland arrived from Alaska, heralding the beginning of the Klondike gold rush. The trademark disputes that arose from this economic activity started working their way into the published opinions of the Ninth Circuit and the newly christened Washington Supreme Court in the first decades of the twentieth century. We took a look at the first ten trademark disputes involving the city of Seattle (which date from the turn of the century up to the start of World War I). To our delight, we found them riddled with connections to celebrities, shootouts, world politics and the multicultural fabric of migration in the American west.

  • The Olympia Brewing Company 1896-1916
    The Olympia Brewing Company 1896-1916: A Case Study in Environmental History and Life Cycle Assessment by Nathan John Nadenicek A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Studies The Evergreen State College June 2015 ©2015 by Nathan John Nadenicek. All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Studies Degree by Nathan John Nadenicek has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Kevin Francis, Ph.D. Member of the Faculty ________________________ Date ABSTRACT The Olympia Brewing Company 1896-1916: A Case Study in Environmental History and Life Cycle Assessment Nathan John Nadenicek The Olympia Brewing Company—located in Tumwater, Washington—grew substantially from its founding in 1896 until the time that prohibition was enacted in Washington in 1916. During this time the brewery grew to become a large regional industry with supply and distribution chains that extended nationally and even globally. For this thesis, I examined the environmental impact of the Olympia Brewing Company during these formative years, using the tools of life cycle analysis and environmental history. From the archives of the Olympia Brewing Company, along with other historical resources, I collected a large amount of qualitative and quantitative information. The indicator for this study was acres of land used to grow the barley and hops. This land use was compared in the month of October in the years 1900 and 1910. Land use was compared at the barrel level for selected batches of lager and bock beers along the timeline of this study. I found that while the amount of land use grew significantly as the company expanded, the amount of land use per barrel changed only slightly between these years.

  • Marketing of Malting and Feed Barley in Montana and in the United States
    Marketing of malting and feed barley in Montana and in the United States by Edward Dean Vaughan A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Agricultural Economics Montana State University © Copyright by Edward Dean Vaughan (1966) Abstract: The apparent need for this study arose in about 1957 when the barley variety Betzes was released in Montana as a potential malting barley. Following designation by the Malting. Barley Improvement Association of Betzes as an approved malting variety, there immediately arose many problems of marketing. Purpose of this study was to examine the market for barley and malting barley in the context of the. opportunities and problems in the marketing of malting barley produced in Montana. Objectives were to attempt to determine whether, and if so, what form of marketing improvements might be made and to examine the market in terms of needed research aimed toward the solution of marketing problems. The study was conducted largely as a library type analysis utilizing secondary sources of data. The purpose, objectives, methods' and progress of the study were discussed and approved in a meeting of the thesis committee at Montana State College on December 11, 1962. At that time the study was visualized as a panoramic view of the market structure and as a basic reference piece on malting barley marketing. A companion study of the nature of the market for malting barley specifically in Montana was initiated by the Montana Experiment Station in 1960 and, at this writing, was in progress.

Introduction A. Executive Summary or Abstract This project was designed to document the "old" brewery complex constructed from 1895 to 1945 and "new" brewery buildings constructed beginning in 1933 and extending through the early 1980s, all constructed as part of the Olympia Brewing Company, in Tumwater, Washington. This effort is timely because the brewery closed in 2003 and was sold to the All American Water Bottling Company. The new owners are selling the property off in segments and are selling interior elements which because of their size require partial demolition of the buildings. This report includes a map of the site with buildings labeled with dates and identification. The report also includes a summary of the site and brewery history during this time, a timeline of the construction of the buildings along with the architect and contractor of the buildings (when known) and inventory forms for 20 of the buildings.
