Lucky Lager Aged/Flavor Beer 16 Oz Tab Top Can

Lucky Lager 16 Oz Pint Can

Originating from the historic Newhall Street plant in San Francisco's Bayview district, this 16-ounce pint can represents one of the West Coast's most prominent regional brewing legacies. General Brewing Company was established following Repeal by Eugene Selvage, former Schlitz brewmaster Julius Kerber, and Paul von Gontard. The brewery established Lucky Lager as a flagship label designed to rival traditional European-style lagers.

The can features the brand's unmistakable diagonal "X" motif, paired here with the "Aged For Premium Flavor" designation. General Brewing placed significant emphasis on lagering time throughout its marketing history, even becoming one of the earliest breweries in America to promote age-dating directly on its packaged goods. While 12-ounce cans were the standard volume for consumer distribution, the larger 16-ounce pint was produced to cater to draft-style tavern volume and retail customers seeking a taller pour.

Over the course of its manufacturing life, General Brewing produced several design variations across its regional facilities, with notable differences found in the phrasing placement, text formatting around the central cross, and mandatory brewery city listings. Cans carrying the explicit San Francisco brewery credit remain closely tied to the flagship California plant that helped build Lucky Lager into a household name across the Western United States.
