Happoushu Redux

I was out with the academic community last night at a Chinese restaurant, and after we toasted the occasion and drank our "beer," everyone was like... wait, this isn't beer! Happoushu in its draft form is much better than from a can, but most people at the table immdiately knew it was happoushu even though we thought we were drinking beer. And throughout the night, the restaurant still called it beer, but people at the table would say, pass the happoushu.
