Is Beer mentioned in the Bible?

Yes. There are a number of references to beer as a specific form of alcohol.

Positive: Beer as a Blessing

Proverbs 31:4-9
It is not for kings, Lemuel—it is not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights. Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Isaiah 24:9
No longer do they drink wine with a song; the beer is bitter to its drinkers.

Isaiah 56:12
“Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine! Let us drink our fill of beer! And tomorrow will be like today, or even far better.”

Negative: Warning Against Drukeness

Proverbs 20:1
Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

Isaiah 28:7
And these also stagger from wine and reel from beer>: Priests and prophets stagger from beer and are befuddled with wine; they reel from beer, they stagger when seeing visions, they stumble when rendering decisions. All the tables are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth.

Micah 2:11
If a liar and deceiver comes and says, ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’ that would be just the prophet for this people!

Neutral:

Isaiah 29:9
Be stunned and amazed, blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not from wine, stagger, but not from beer.
