(KGT 95):  Klingon drinks may be divided into two types: those with and those without an intoxicating effect--basically, those with and those without alcohol. [...] Any alcoholic beverage is called HIq. [...] many native Klingon alcoholic drinks have names that do not contain the word HIq. Among these are the very strong chechtlhutlh (*chech'tluth*). (The fact that chechtlhutlh seems to be made up of two verbs related to drinking-chech ["be drunk"] and tlhutlh ["drink"]-is no doubt coincidental.

(KGT 83):  In fact, vut can also be used in reference to making a beverage, whether simply mixing ingredients together (such a putting cream in coffee) or starting from scratch (such as brewing ale).

chechtlhutlh is a "strong Klingon liquor that Bringloidi leader O'Dell agreed had more of a bite than the replicated whiskey." (KdB)  Worf ordered some for him from the Enterprise's replicator in TNG "Up the Long Ladder".

(KGT 35):  "Fake ale" is a term used to refer to a rather nonpotent ale, perhaps akin to near beer. The Klingons equate water with weakness. Anything is better than water; the less waterlike, the better.
