I drank a lot of Old Style when I was in High School. Other than Pabst, it was the most popular beer you could get in bars. Before you ask, when I was young, age was not the criteria for drinking in the middle of nowhere. If you could see over the bar, you would get served.
Looking back, it was not that good! And "fully krausened" ranks right up there with "triple hopped"! Nothing but marketing. All beer has a krausen stage. Any smart brewer would not move the beer to a bright tank until the krausen falls.

Oh, I use the term facetiously...when one had consumed one more can of Old Style than he maybe should have, the comment was, "Okay...he's fully krausened! Shut him off."
Anybody remember Hamm's? This stuff was soooooo bad that we rewrote the jingle from their commercials...not that anyone remembers the tune but the verse still holds up. Their tag line was:
A beer is a beer until you've tasted Hamm's
(They HAD to know that they were setting themselves up, right?)
...doesn't a sea captain with a guitar sit at the end of the bar at you local?
I drink beer on the corner
I drink beer on the tracks
I even snuck a can or two
Behind my old man's back
I drink it warm
I drink it cold
I drink it whenever I can
But a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer
Until you've tasted Hamm's
...cause after you've tasted Hamm's, they all move up a notch.
