Morphology
The noun is a straightforward composition: 'beer' (a drink) + 'ticket' (a voucher or token), so the meaning 'a voucher exchanged for a beer' is directly inferable from the constituents. This construction follows common noun + noun compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent in event contexts, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun beer ticket comes from the simple idea of a ticket you give to get a beer at a fair or festival. Event staff used paper 'tokens' to control drinks, so a beer ticket means a small voucher you exchange for a drink.
