The sentence, 'We had four beer.' has only one problem, four is more than one but beer is a non-count noun. The plural form of the noun, 'beers', is used for types of or kinds if beer. The plural form can be used if the sentence is changed to:
We had four different beers. We had a variety of four beers. We tasted four beers.
Multiples of individual units would be expressed as, 'We had four cans of beer.', ...bottles of beer, or ...glasses of beer. Since the sentence doesn't specify the form, perhaps it was ... pitchers of beer and you prefer to keep it vague.
'We had four beer.' is incorrect. 'We had four beers.' is correct if you mean four different beers. 'We had four beers.' in casual conversation when you mean four bottles or four glasses is not a problem if you don't forget to use the correct form in more formal circumstances or in writing.

Is saying one-fourth as in a quarter grammatically correct?
If you take out the hyphen, yes. It may not be the right word but this is not a question of grammar. Americans tend to use 'one fourth', and British people tend to use 'a quarter', but really it's a matter of personal preference.
Do the sentences given in the Discussion Area on this question have the same meaning?
1. He lives in the house across the road.The above sentence is correct grammatically.2. He lives in the house over the road.The above sentence is INcorrect grammatically. You can cross over the road, but the house is not 'over' the road. If a house was 'over' a road, the house would be hovering above the road.3. He lives in the house across the street.The above sentence is correct grammatically.4. He lives in the house over the street.This is the same as question #2. A house is not 'over' a street or road.5. I saw the children wandering slowly across the road.The above sentence is correct grammatically.6. I saw the children wandering slowly over the road.For the same reasons as #2 and #4, the above is INcorrect.7.

I was fortunate to get over the street without being knocked over.For the same reasons as #2, #4, #6, #8, and #10, the above is INcorrect.Consider the differences in following correct sentences:I could only walk across the street by jumping over the potholes.He lives in the house across the road, but with a jetpack invention he could travel over the road to my house.Over means above, not on the surface. So I can't walk 'over' a street or road.I can walk along, down, up, or across a street or road.
