- Must be a memory of irresponsible quantity consumption since I've never
- heard anyone complain about the taste of Little King's. If you don't like it
- you don't have to buy it; lots of other people (with better taste :-)) will.

- The Schoenling Brewing Company's Little King's Creme Ale is still sold
- on the national market in select cities. It is still made (essentially)the
- same way in the same place as it was 15 years ago, although the packaging is
- somewhat different, but then, what hasn't changed since 1977?
