Yes - Hah, I know of the Katzenjammer Kids, but the Wikipedia definition of Katzenjammer is, "...a German word literally meaning "cat's wail" and hence "discordant sound", sometimes used to indicate a general state of depression or bewilderment or in reference to a hangover." Gosh, it doesn't seem that long ago that the carved-stone was still in-place. fredo, back in the 80's-90's I purchased a cool student prince table-lamp at an antique-lighting place up in Seattle.

Somebody sold their collection of Tacoma Beer Anti Katzenjammer paraphernalia in October 09, (Tacoma Beer was a Pacific Brewing Company product) wish the city still had any existing imagery from this product, it's hilarious. http://live.vcaauction.com/Tacoma-Beer-Anti-Katzenjammer-Oval-Curved-Reverse-Glas_i8609110 More »

UW Tacoma is tracking down the stonework made locally by the brew masters's brother in law. They feel bad about erasing the student prince mural and want to make it up to us. More »

Lots of the really cool stuff was sold for scrap when the brewery was auctioned off in the 1980s. I recall quite a few enormous copper topped brewing vats. More »

Looks OK but I was hoping for more opportunity for retail. I also don't see the water tower in there anywhere. More »

I'm totally with jenyum that they should save the water tower portion since, really, that's the most recognizable part of the whole thing. Could look pretty stellar atop a nice new (likely brick covered) building. More »
