It looks as though you have the Alias directive nested inside the
<Directory "/usr/local/www/data/beerstud/htdocs> directive, which
can't really be what you want (the Alias would only apply within the
that directory, but of course it would never have any occasion to
apply there).

I think you probably need to move the phpMyAdmin-related directives
outside of the <Directory "/usr/local/www/data/beerstud/htdocs">
directive.
