Dear Khadafi:
Peace. In short answer to your question, unless you were exposed to a large (visible) amount of blood, semen, or vaginal secretions in the beer, you're at no risk for HIV infection.
Please visit www.avert.org for more general information on HIV and transmission, which should, in turn, answer most questions that might arise. I remain available for further questions as they might arise, but again, no risk in what you describe.
Best to you and yours,
Terry
