The company's primary brands, Hudepohl 14-K and Hudy Delight (introduced in 1978) were strong local Cincinnati beers.
Hudepohl celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1985, but business was down and company president, Bob Pohl, began looking for a buyer or merger partner. In 1986, Hudepohl was sold to crosstown rival, Schoenling Brewing Company, makers of Little Kings Cream Ale, Schoenling Lager, Top Hat Beer and Fehr's X/L. For about a year the now combined Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing Company continued to operate the Hudepohl plant on Gest Street while capacity was increased at the Schoenling plant. In 1987, all beer production was moved to the Schoenling facility and the Hudepohl plant was closed. Most of the abandoned buildings still stand as of 2015, including a giant smokestack bearing the Hudepohl name. In 2019, the former site of the original Hudepohl Brewery, including the iconic smokestack, was demolished after years of sitting vacant.
