Morphology
The meaning 'a person who frequently drinks and enjoys beer' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'beer' (the beverage) with 'drinker' (someone who consumes), forming a simple noun + noun composition. This is a regular, cross-linguistically common compositional pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Beer drinker comes from the simple image of a person who often drinks beer; drinker means a person who drinks. So it means 'a person who prefers or often drinks beer'.
