An old Germanic legend says that hop beer was invented by a Flemish king named Gambrinus. Gambrinus seems to be a corruption of Jan Primus, or Jan the first, Duke of Brabant, who died in 1294, and was a patron and protector of the Flemish brewers guild. (Thanks to planet fusion.co.uk)

Could it be King Afart?

Hence the saying "I was ****** as Afart last night".

In Prague a number of pubs have pictures of Gambrinus, King of Beers - and there is also, I think,  a Czech beer of that name.
