For those of you who do not know what Billy Beer is, a quick explanation from WIKIPEDIA:
Billy Beer was a beer first made in the United States of America in 1977, by the Falls City Brewing Company. It was promoted by Billy Carter, the younger brother of then-President Jimmy Carter. The beer was also produced by Cold Spring Brewing, West End Brewing, and Pearl Brewing Company. The beer saw dismal sales figures while in production, but millions of cans were produced.
Billy Carter was selected as spokesman for the beer because his brother, who was president, was widely known to enjoy drinking beer. However, it was also known that Billy's brand of choice was Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Written on each can were these words of endorsement, which were followed by Billy Carter's signature:
Brewed expressly for and with the personal approval of one of America's all-time great beer drinkers - Billy Carter.
I had this beer brewed just for me. I think it's the best I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. I think you'll like it, too.
Presidential brothers are endless sources of entertainment.
