Having been born in Manitoba, and spent my early drinking years in Alberta, I can say that I grew up sayign "beers", though not influenced by anyone from Manitoba. It's more goddamn fun to say beers.
Example:
What did you do last night?
I went out with Friend X for some beers.
If I'd claimed I went out with Friend X for beer, one might think we went to pick up a case. In this case, "beer" is akin to "drink", and becomes pluralized (pluralised?) when consumed in copious quantities.
Bah.. whatever.
