From ABC News:

Jake Leinenkugel announced Tuesday that he is stepping down as president of the craft brewery started by his great-great-grandfather and will be succeeded by his younger brother Dick Leinenkugel, who formerly led economic development efforts in Wisconsin. 

Jake Leinenkugel, 62, is familiar to beer drinkers as the star of ads promoting his family's brand. He took over day-to-day operations of the company a year after its 1988 merger with Miller Brewing Co., now MillerCoors, and oversaw recent rapid growth fueled by the popularity of the lemonade-flavored Summer Shandy.
