Oh, I'm pretty sure that 'beers' is technically the correct usage.
I agree, stouts and ales and pilsners and Oud Bruins are beers, but in my personal jarogn, I would phrase it as 'differnt types of beer.
Tonight I have consumed four beer while my girlfriend has drunk three glasses of wine. All fo ur of my beer were of the same type, although there are two types of beer in my fridge.
Semantically correct? Doesn't really bother me. It would seem that 'beers' is a more effcient and accepted term. But my girlfriend did not have four wines. Moose aren't meese, and indeed several deer are several deer. And I will stand by my refusal to use the term beers, in particular when I have had a few beer. Languages and dialects evolve (devolve?), and I think 'beers' is long overdue for extinction.
