belch a bad beer?

[ostap77]

I've looked up in a dictionary an interesting defenition for "especially a bad beer".

"Pass the belch. Anything's good on a hot day." Did anyone hear this use of "belch" in conversation?

A beer that makes you burp? Don't most beers do that?

The SOED has it:
Poor beer; malt liquor. arch. slang. L17.

I have never heard it used

It sure does. But I wanted to check with you guy who speak English in everyday life.
