Neither "associated with" nor "considered individually" sounds right.
I would say "lo birje" is just "beer".

   mi pinxe lo birje
   "I drink beer."

   lo birje cu ta'e jikru lo bavmi
   "Beer is generally brewed from barley."

   e'o ko dunda lo va birje mi
   "Please give me that beer over there."

mu'o mi'e xorxes
