I believe the beer was (and is as recently as Christmas 2007) Olde  
Frothingslosh.  Old Miss Frothingslosh was on the can label; the  
model, sadly, the model died in 2000.  <http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3469/is_23_51/ai_63603107

If Wikipedia is to be believed (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regis_Cordic

was picked up by a beer company.  If Wikipedia's timeline is correct,  
I heard about the beer from a neighbor before it actually existed.

How on earth would we have done important research like the above 15  
years ago?
