After you said that about esoteric last night, I went over there and browsed a bit. Came across that thread about pbr and other bad beers. Triggered a 60 year old memory. I remember when I was about 7 and my brother was about 12, my dad got a new company car. It was a pretty maroon 51 Ford. My mom and dad, brother and myself took the car for a ride in the country. While we were passing a pasture full of cows, one of them let fly with a cascade of cow piss which my brother and I pointed out to my dad and he glanced over at the cow and said in a very dry manner, "oh she's just taking a Falstaff." which my brother and I thought was hysterically funny. For about 5 years after that, whenever we had to go we referred to it as taking a Falstaff. Kinda sums up what my dad thought of Falstaff beer. Guess, I'm not totally senile yet, if I can remember something from 60 years ago. Now, if could only remember what I did with my car keys and did I take my medicine this morning?
Internet says that Falstaff is what Hank Williams was drinking the night that he died. Must have been some really bad beer, but wonder what he was mixing with it?
