Thanks for posting the photo. I didn't know Tacoma had a major brewery, so I went looking for a reference. And I found a site devoted to this brewery in Tacoma! Worth looking at if you have an interest in either Tacoma history or beer history.

Here is a linked photo of the "Carling" brewery building in 1954, with "Heidelberg" prominently on the front, where "Carling" would later appear.

In 1958 Carling Brewing Co. of Canada purchased the Heidelberg Brewing Co. for $3,500,000. This added Carling Black Label, and Red Cap Ale to the line-up, and ended Columbia Ale - but not Columbia Beer. However, Heidelberg Beer remained its best seller.

That would say the photo is at least 1958.
