A term used to describe the dire state of a baseball fan's beer. Some Kind of Fermented Chicken Drink is in reference to an episode of the sitcom "Seinfeld" called "The Muffin Tops," which ran in the eigth season of the series. In the episode, George Costanza looses his job with the New York Yankees through a series of mishaps and miscommunications between George, NY Yankee's owner George Steinbrenner, and the owner of Tyler Chicken. Mr. Steinbrenner trades George to Tyler Chicken in exchange for Mr. Tyler converting all Yankee Stadium concession stands to chicken-exclusive vendors. George is traded to Tyler Chicken for what amounts to "Some kind of fermented Chicken drink."

In Rogue terminology, a Fan will describe a flat, warm, undesirable beer as "Some kind of fermented chicken drink." This drink is barely drinkable, and usually means the fan would like a fresher one. This term can be used either at home or at the stadium.
