I don’t get it. Not that the ficlet isn’t good, because it’s great. But I have a feeling this refers to a game I never played… OHHH . I just Googled it. Now I get it! Very clever!!
Actually, there were two versions of the game. Tapper had Budweiser branding on the game (including on the tap lever), and was only available in bars. Root Beer Tapper, on the other hand, had a generic root beer logo in place of Budweiser. This version was identical to the Bud version in all other respects, but was available in arcades, and was the version that eventually got ported to home systems.
