Brewed by Cincinnati’s own Schoenling Brewing Co., Little Kings was founded in 1958. Its distinctive 7-ounce green bottle was invented soon after when patrons at Montgomery Inn stated they’d prefer not to buy a full-sized bottle of beer to go with their shots of whiskey. It was briefly brewed in other cities starting in the 1990s as it changed ownership, but in 2004 it became part the Christian Moerlein family of beers.
