Good find! The Organ Grinder was just down the street from my father's carpet store, so growing up we went there from time to time. Unfortunately, much like Blitz and Rainer beer, their pizza wasn't much - but the place certainly had a unique atmosphere.

Here's another Portlanders might remember - a parody of the Blitz (Schludwiller) ad from above.

I'll never forget the Rainier Sun Busts at Delta park, great music, public nudity & you could still drink beer in a public park. Man, life was GOOOOOOD! JOE

Thanks for digging those up....perfection. The quality of the beer is not at question here...it's the quality of the promotion!!
