Rachel's Ginger Beer (RGB) is a ginger beer company based in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1] As of 2015, the company had 80 employees, a flagship store at Pike Place Market, two additional bars, and a 2,500-square-foot production facility in south Seattle.[2]

History

[edit]

Rachel Marshall, a Whidbey Island resident, started making ginger beer after she was introduced to it in Germany.[3] She returned to Seattle and started selling ginger beer at local farmers' markets and as a stand at Pike Place Market.[4]

Marshall opened a permanent Rachel's Ginger Beer store at Pike Place Market in July 2013 with help from her partner Adam Peters.[5][6][3] Marshall was a co-owner of two bars in Seattle with Kate Opatz[3] and named one of 50 "most influential" people in Seattle by Seattle Metropolitan in 2013.[7]

The business began operating on Capitol Hill in 2015,[8] at University Village in the University District in 2017,[9][10][11] and in Denny Triangle in 2019.[12][13][14] Stacey Rozich, a Seattle based artists, designed murals for all four locations. [6][11][14][8] RGB has also operated in Portland, Oregon.[15][16][17] This location closed after two years because it did not generate enough profit and stretched the companies resources much too thin.
