Miller acquired the Tumwater brewery Henry Weinhard's brand in 1999.
“Miller acquired the Tumwater brewery [in 1999] in a recent agreement
with Pabst Brewing Company. Its operation of the Tumwater brewery
makes Miller the only major brewer in the Great Northwest. The Miller
Tumwater brewery currently employs 280 people and brews four newly
acquired Miller brands: Henry Weinhard's, Mickey's Malt Liquor, Olde
English 800 and Hamm's brands. Miller also brews Olympia, Rainier and
other brands at the Tumwaterbrewery under a contract-brewing agreement
with Pabst.”

Miller will close Tumwater plant in July
“Jan 10, 2003 - Miller Brewing company said Thursday that it will
close its brewery in Tumwater, Wash., ending a 106-year brewing legacy
and eliminating the last major brewery in the Northwest. Nearly 400
workers will lose their jobs.
The plant produced about 1.7 million barrels last year, compared with
6 million to 7 million in a typical Miller brewery. Brands produced in
Tumwater include Henry Weinhard's, Hamms, Mickey's, and the Skyy Blue
malt beverage. The plant also brews beverages including Olympia beer
under a contract with Pabst Brewing Co. Those brands will continue to
be produced, but at other plants.
With the closing of Rainier in Seattle, Blitz-Weinhard in Portland and
now Miller in Tumwater, the Northwest has lost all its old regional
breweries.”

From a Miller Brewing Company Press Release:
“The plan calls for phasing production to other Miller breweries
through the closing date.”
“In 2002, the brewery produced approximately 1.7 million barrels of
the four brands which Miller acquired in 1999 from Pabst Brewing
Company and the former Stroh Brewery Company (Hamm’s, Henry
Weinhard’s, Mickey’s and Olde English 800) as well as Miller’s
flavored malt beverages and a number of brands under contract for
Pabst Brewing Company. No Miller trademark brands had been produced at
the brewery since its acquisition from Pabst in 1999.”
