Where did “Who Dey?!” come from?

“Who Dey?” is something you’re going to hear often as the Cincinnati Bengals head to Super Bowl 56, but where did it come from? The phrase dates back to the old Riverfront Stadium days and is derived from a historic Cincinnati business.

Hudepohl Beer Company has been a staple in the Cincinnati beer industry since 1885, long before the Bengals were even a thought for the city. Hudepohl has been around Cincinnati even before the Reds were in town, which is sort of crazy to think about, as the Reds are the first organized professional baseball team to ever exist.
