I’ve still got a six-pack of unopened “Beer” beer which I’ve saved for many years. Must be over 30 years old now. 2022-1982 = 40. Yeah…forty years old.

In the late 1970s, General Brewing took advantage of the “generic brand” marketing craze in the US by producing beer with plain white labels emblazoned with the word BEER. Rumors surfaced that BEER was simply repackaged Lucky Lager. When the generic craze died, and the microbrewery movement took off, General had difficulty maintaining profitability as a brewer of inexpensive beers. The fact that Lucky Lager tasted no worse than expensively-advertised “premium” brands such as Budweiser or Miller did not impress a market of drinkers where image was frequently more important than taste. The brewery’s fortunes began to decline.

After the Vancouver, Washington brewery shut down in July 1985, the Olympia Brewing Company in Tumwater, Washington began to produce Lucky Lager in the US. In July 2003, this brewery was also closed. Lucky Lager continued to be sold in its original Northern California range at Lucky Stores supermarkets, which although not affiliated, sold Lucky Lager as an unofficial value store brand, until Lucky Stores supermarkets were bought out by Albertson’s and the name of the supermarkets was changed around 2000.
