I remember seeing a few Lucky Lager signs when I lived in Arizona.

Brew 102 held the "bottom of the barrel" prize until Ralphs Markets  
came out with "Plain Wrap" beer in the 1970s.  They had a whole line  
of Plain Wrap store brand generics.  I tried the champagne and threw  
out most of the bottle--yuk!
