Bottles
Lucky Lager was once famous for its 11 oz stubby bottles featuring a rebus under the cap. Since the closure of the Tumwater brewery, this famous bottle has been discontinued.
The label for Lucky Lager has also seen many changes. The large red X was made less prominent in the 1950s, but it remained on the labels and on advertising. The label was redesigned and the X was again made smaller in 1962, although it was still the design's focus. This can with the smaller "X" is sometimes called the 'bug' can by collectors because there is a small "dated" seal that can appear on different spots on the label, like a bug moving around. A subsequent design got rid of the "X" entirely and replaced it with a large "L". The "L" was written in the cursive form with the rest of the letters following. The origin and reason for this new design (X to L) is somewhat unknown, but is said to have been created by the son of a Lucky Lager distributor in the Northwest.
