A fortified facility

2
At 00:00:03,367, Character said: that sustained
America's heroes,

3
At 00:00:06,934, Character said: [Karen Johnson] The product
that came out
of these buildings

4
At 00:00:09,367, Character said: was used for so many
celebrations and victories.

5
At 00:00:14,166, Character said: [narrator] And a small town

6
At 00:00:15,567, Character said: where a murder
sparked a revolution.

7
At 00:00:19,767, Character said: [Gloria Dickenson]
What started here
was one of the most

8
At 00:00:22,266, Character said: horrible things
that happened in the nation,

9
At 00:00:24,533, Character said: but it also brought about
much needed change.

10
At 00:00:39,266, Character said: In Washington State,

11
At 00:00:41,266, Character said: one building has left
its mark on American culture,

12
At 00:00:45,166, Character said: and fueled one of the nation's
greatest treasure hunts.

13
At 00:00:54,667, Character said: [Paul Knight] This place has
a storied history

14
At 00:00:57,500, Character said: unlike any other place
that I know of.

15
At 00:01:00,333, Character said: I can almost hear the voices

16
At 00:01:02,367, Character said: of the people who are working
in these areas.

17
At 00:01:06,000, Character said: [Greg Szulgit]
We're in Tumwater,

18
At 00:01:07,200, Character said: about an hour's drive
south of Seattle.

19
At 00:01:09,934, Character said: It's a beautiful town
that's built
on the Deschutes River.

20
At 00:01:13,266, Character said: [narrator] On the river's
open plains,

21
At 00:01:16,033, Character said: a tower looms over
an abandoned
industrial complex.

22
At 00:01:22,500, Character said: [Greg] This giant, tall tower
is the weird part

23
At 00:01:26,266, Character said: where you have a lot
of space to build out,

24
At 00:01:27,867, Character said: to fit lots of workers
and lots of machines.

25
At 00:01:30,133, Character said: Why you'd build up,

26
At 00:01:31,634, Character said: that begs some questions.

27
At 00:01:34,900, Character said: [Jim Meigs] It's g***t these
architectural hints

28
At 00:01:36,667, Character said: that seem like they aim
at something grander

29
At 00:01:40,567, Character said: than just a factory.

30
At 00:01:43,367, Character said: [narrator] Inside,
there are more questions
than answers.

31
At 00:01:47,767, Character said: [Hadley Meares]
There's white tiles
on the tower wall,

32
At 00:01:50,166, Character said: so maybe this was a place
that was meant to get dirty.

33
At 00:01:53,934, Character said: It looks like something
you'd expect in a hospital
or laboratory.

34
At 00:01:58,600, Character said: This place was the heartbeat
of the community.

35
At 00:02:01,667, Character said: It produced a product
that was iconic.

36
At 00:02:04,667, Character said: [narrator] These buildings
brought joy

37
At 00:02:07,166, Character said: to millions of Americans.

38
At 00:02:09,667, Character said: But when the nation
faced dark days,

39
At 00:02:13,166, Character said: its innovation helped keep
the war machine rolling.

40
At 00:02:19,266, Character said: [Jim] In World War II,

41
At 00:02:20,867, Character said: this was considered important
to the morale of the country.

42
At 00:02:28,900, Character said: [narrator] For 36 years,

43
At 00:02:30,767, Character said: Paul Knight's job gave him
a special connection
to this place.

44
At 00:02:35,634, Character said: [Paul] This building
is pretty much
like an old friend of mine.

45
At 00:02:38,567, Character said: First entered it in 1964.

46
At 00:02:41,934, Character said: [narrator] Paul is one
of a few who knows
its secrets,

47
At 00:02:45,367, Character said: including why this tower
had to be built so tall.

48
At 00:02:49,634, Character said: It was very unique
in America for its time.

49
At 00:02:52,667, Character said: This building utilized gravity

50
At 00:02:54,934, Character said: to move the materials
from place to place.

51
At 00:02:58,000, Character said: [Greg] Ingredients would be
taken up by elevator,

52
At 00:03:00,266, Character said: and then by gravity
would simply process down
through various vats

53
At 00:03:04,667, Character said: and would be treated
in different ways,

54
At 00:03:06,166, Character said: and at the bottom,
bingo, beer.

55
At 00:03:09,033, Character said: [narrator] This is
the Olympia Brewery.

56
At 00:03:12,100, Character said: At its peak, it produced
100,000 barrels of beer
a year.

57
At 00:03:18,600, Character said: As the brewmaster,

58
At 00:03:20,100, Character said: Paul developed
a taste for the product.

59
At 00:03:22,767, Character said: [Paul] I've drunk a lot
of Olympia beer in my life,

60
At 00:03:25,467, Character said: maybe more Olympia Beer
than anybody else.

61
At 00:03:28,667, Character said: I've probably drank
about 90,000 bottles of beer.

62
At 00:03:33,467, Character said: [Jim] When I reached
the legal drinking age,

63
At 00:03:35,867, Character said: Olympia Beer was known as a
really affordable light lager.

64
At 00:03:43,033, Character said: My friends and I always
had a case of Olympia.

65
At 00:03:46,600, Character said: [Greg] The beer was named
after Washington
state capital, Olympia,

66
At 00:03:50,033, Character said: which is only a few miles
from Tumwater.

67
At 00:03:54,166, Character said: [narrator] But this beer
was popular beyond

68
At 00:03:57,133, Character said: Washington State's
dimly lit bars.

69
At 00:04:01,867, Character said: Karen Johnson has seen it
on America's silver screen.

70
At 00:04:06,900, Character said: Clint Eastwood was really
in favor of Olympia Beer.

71
At 00:04:10,634, Character said: So whenever Clint Eastwood
was in a Hollywood movie,

72
At 00:04:13,734, Character said: and had a chance
to drink a beer,

73
At 00:04:15,166, Character said: he always made sure
it was Olympia Beer.

74
At 00:04:17,967, Character said: [narrator] Despite making it
to Hollywood,

75
At 00:04:20,100, Character said: the beer's origins
come from a time
when the West was still wild.

76
At 00:04:26,266, Character said: It was the brainchild,
of a German immigrant.

77
At 00:04:30,133, Character said: [Paul] Leopold Schmidt
is very much a hero of mine.

78
At 00:04:33,834, Character said: He was the founder of
the Olympia Brewing Company.

79
At 00:04:38,467, Character said: The reason Leopold Schmidt
wanted to build a brewery here

80
At 00:04:41,166, Character said: was because of the water.

81
At 00:04:43,200, Character said: [Hadley] So legend has it

82
At 00:04:44,734, Character said: that Leopold was looking
for a place to set up
a brewery,

83
At 00:04:47,867, Character said: and he told his barber,

84
At 00:04:49,634, Character said: and his barber said, "Hey,
you should go use the waters
of Tumwater"

85
At 00:04:53,967, Character said: because the indigenous people
here have used it
for brewing forever.

86
At 00:04:57,667, Character said: [narrator] Leopold made
a discovery that changed
the course of beer history.

87
At 00:05:03,867, Character said: [Paul] The springs
that Leopold found

88
At 00:05:06,867, Character said: were some of the purest
brewing water
to be discovered anywhere.

89
At 00:05:13,200, Character said: [Greg] Having been filtered
by the rocks,

90
At 00:05:15,533, Character said: the water here has
a very low mineral content,

91
At 00:05:18,567, Character said: perfect for brewing lager.

92
At 00:05:21,100, Character said: In 1896,

93
At 00:05:23,233, Character said: he built this
beautiful building,

94
At 00:05:25,567, Character said: Leopold really wanted to push
the importance of the water,

95
At 00:05:29,834, Character said: so he came up with the slogan,
"It's the water."

96
At 00:05:33,166, Character said: [TV announcer]
Didn't we remind you
on every bottle

97
At 00:05:35,634, Character said: and every can?

98
At 00:05:37,333, Character said: It's the water that gives
light Olympia Beer

99
At 00:05:40,767, Character said: its exceptional quality
and unchanging good taste.

100
At 00:05:46,367, Character said: [narrator] Although the purity
of the water

101
At 00:05:48,467, Character said: created local demand
for the beer,

102
At 00:05:51,533, Character said: with limited advertising,

103
At 00:05:53,433, Character said: Leopold struggled to sell it
outside of the state,

104
At 00:05:57,934, Character said: until one of America's
greatest treasure hunts

105
At 00:06:01,000, Character said: gave him a unique opportunity.

106
At 00:06:04,133, Character said: In 1896, there was a discovery

107
At 00:06:06,934, Character said: that sent shockwaves
around the world.

108
At 00:06:08,767, Character said: They'd found gold
in the Klondike.

109
At 00:06:14,000, Character said: This meant a massive
flood of prospectors
to Alaska.

110
At 00:06:20,767, Character said: Of course, what do all those
thirsty miners
and workers need?

111
At 00:06:23,967, Character said: Lots of beer.

112
At 00:06:26,066, Character said: [Karen] But at that time,
Alaska was officially dry,

113
At 00:06:29,033, Character said: meaning people
couldn't sell beer there.

114
At 00:06:31,667, Character said: [narrator] Alaskan prohibition
was deterring minors
from moving there.

115
At 00:06:35,667, Character said: So to attract
a willing workforce
to this desolate frontier,

116
At 00:06:40,233, Character said: the federal...
