Whether the hitchhiker logo is "generic" looking is besides the point. A hitchhiker logo does not generically refer to beer or have anything to do with beer. Just because Apples logo is a generic-looking apple with bite taking out of it, it can still function as a trademark for computers, phones, and other non-fruit-related products.
The two hitchhikers look similar enough to me to bring this out of the frivolous realm.
