Schoenling Little Kings Cream Ale was mentioned earlier.
Koehler Brewery was established in 1850 and purchased by Ludwig Hudepohl II in 1885; Ludwig then renamed the company Hudepohl Brewing. Schoenling Brewing was established in 1934 after prohibition ended, and one of their beverages was Little Kings. The two merged in 1986 to form Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing.
Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing was then purchased by Boston Beer Co., maker of Samuel Adams Beer, in 1997. Boston Beer kept the brewery but sold the rest of the company in 1999 to Snyder International Brewing Group, which went into receivership in 2003. Your guess is as good as mine about what is happening with the brand now.
