Yeh, most laptops have very easily removed keyboards, I guess so suppliers 
can replace with region-specific keyboards without having to take the whole 
thing apart.  My Dell has 4 or 5 screws on the back that are even labelled 
"K" :-)

Nope, sounds like it should be fine.  The only problem will be if some of 
the keys are "sticky", that can sometimes be really hard to fix totally - 
but if you rinsed it off before the beer started to dry it shouldn't be a 
problem.

Good luck!
