Commercial Description:
Lucky Lager was introduced to beer drinkers in 1934. The name Lucky was selected from a name-search contest. Fully fermented in Bohemian-style tradition and slightly darker in colour than regular brands, Lucky uses select ingredients and hops to deliver a slightly sweeter taste than most lagers.

Short version of the Lucky Lager story: the brand was founded by General Brewing in California. This was folded into a consortium led by three BC breweries. General Brewing later split off from the consortium and was eventually brought into the Pabst fold. The BC breweries later became Labatt's and thus there are two lines of ownership of the Lucky Lager brand. The brand is today more prevalent in Canada, especially British Columbia.

Minimal white head. Pours a clear pale yellow. Aromas of corn. Very watered down taste (no hops or malts detected). It’s not hard to see why they make a profit at a buck a beer as there’s really nothing to it.

A 70s staple. $1.99 a six pack. The best thing about it was the rebus puzzles under the caps. It was drinkable, but that’s about it. Too bad, at one time, it was (like Burgermeister) a West Coast favorite, and actually quite good.

Okay cheap lager. The flavour of the beer is cheap and somewhat earthy. Leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth

Can - Light orange, small head. skanky aroma of grass and some sourness. Quite a bland flavour, nothing noticable, boring as f*ck.
