Not-Beer 

(n) Anything that is discernably not beer. Derived from the Beer/Not-Beer dichotomy, which dictates that anything and everything in existence (and non-existence) can be placed in one of the two aforementioned categories.

Note: Recently, "Not-Beer" has been colloquialized (adj), meaning: stupid, lame, unworthy of praise, worthy of scorn, etc. Due to the recent colloquialization of "Not-Beer," its positive form, "Beer," has only naturally been adopted as an antonym (adj), meaning: cool, awesome, unworthy of derision, worthy of commendation, etc.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue?
