A little history: Knickerbocker Beer was made by the Ruppert Brewery, Knickerbocker was the official beer of the New York Giants, a bit ironic given that Jacob Ruppert, a.k.a. “The Colonel, ...” was the owner of the New York Yankees during the heyday of Ruth and Gehrig. The brewery was located at 92nd and Second, Purchased by Rupert Sr. in 1914, then passed to Ruppert Jr. upon his father's death in 1915. Jacob Ruppert Jr. passed away in 1939. After mismanagement by his heirs the Jacob Ruppert Brewing Company closed in the late 1960s. The Knickerbocker brand was acquired by another brewery, but discontinued during the 1970s. FYI: The word knickerbocker was also used to refer to people who lived in Manhattan.
