Is Lucky Lager beer still being made?
And where? I haven't seen it in years.
Answers:
I sure hope not. I remember it from when I was stationed in Okinawa in '58. The manager of the NCO Club said it was the only beer they actually made money on when they held a 'dime beer' night. Only tried it one time. Rottenest brew I ever tasted.
We have it here in Ontario.
In recent years, the beverage has been hard to find, but is still available in various establishments on the West Coast. Lucky is commonly found all across Vancouver Island. Cumberland, a small island town was named the most "Lucky" city with the most Lucky beer sales located here. Labatt's Lucky Lager is also found in Southern Ontario. Inside of Alberta, Lucky Lager is a widely available beer, and due to the relative inexpensive cost of the beer, a popular item. Lucky is available in a "Salmon Pack" which contains 15 beers instead of the usual 12.
I remember the stuff. Real cheap, too. But I think the thing I remember the most were those little puzzles on the inside of the bottle cap. But because it is "Lucky Lager" and since Lucky stores seem to be hard to find, finding Lucky beer is equally hard to find.
Lucky Lager is available all over Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. It is also available in other areas of BC, and you can check availability through the British Columbia Liquor Stores for the location nearest you.
