The article states the the Olympia brewery in Tumwater, WA began brewing Lucky Lager in 2003, but I specifically remember drinking it in college in the early nineties, and seeing it as being produced in Tumwater back then. Was it a case of same city, different brewery? Towknie 08:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know the year when the Vancouver brewery closed? Dragomiloff 23:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Someone vandalized this article. I deleted the garbage, leaving the article somewhat discombobulated. Someone who knows what they are talking about should fix it! Dieziege 03:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't trust this article, its not well sourced, and Lucky is a beer that is associated with BC, Canada. A cheap Canadian beer! Myciconia 06:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
I deleted the "disputed" tag. Just because you've never heard of it, doesn't mean it didn't exist. I've been collecting breweriana for over 30 years, I've researched the history of this brewery in the trade journals of the breweing industry from the 1930s on, and I've even published an article about it in a breweriana magazine and there is nothing inaccurate on this page that I can see. HOWEVER, you are right that it needs better sourcing and I will add the appropriate footnotes when I can. Hanover81 13:41, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
There is some inaccuracies about this history of Lucky Lager. The Azusa brewery was NOT closed in 1971. The Azusa brewery was sold to Miller in 1966, they operated it here for many years before relocating to the new more modern Irwindale plant 4 exits up the freeway in the 1980's. Paul Kalmanovitz NEVER owned the Azusa Brewery. No one has mentioned that Paul's second brewery was the Regal Pale brewery which he took over in 1960 and closed it 6 months later within two years this great San Francisco regional brewery was torn down as Mr. Paul didn't want to pay taxes to SF county on an empty building.

Lucky lager is undoubtedly the most popular beer in North Vancouver Island BC Canada
I just stumbled across this entry about it and was surprised to read it's history. It's a *very* common beer in these parts and I'm wondering if the Lucky beer made by Labatts here in Canada is a completely different beer than the Lucky being discussed originally. (although the logo is similar with a big X).
Perhaps Labatts bought the rights to it or something a long time ago?
In any case it probably doesn't belong in this article if the article's category is beer and breweries in the United States because it's alive and well and all Canadian AFAIK.
I changed the availability section to reflect this fact, as I too know for a fact that it is extremely popular on vancouver island. Imapwnu 06:40, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth, Lucky was widely available (and popular in certain circles) throughout Southern California in the 80's and 90's in the 11 oz. bottle - and I'm fairly certain that it was still being sold in that style as late as last year (2007) when I was last in the area. The author of this article doesn't state when the bottle was discontinued or provide any further information about it at all. Given that the packaging (bottle & crown) are one of the more noteworthy aspects of Lucky, could we get more details and-slash-or a clarification?
If no one can or will confirm that the stubby bottle is still in use, I will look into it when I am back in town. 71.206.216.251 (talk) 04:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
