'''Beer''' is a relatively small [[moon|lunar]] [[impact crater]] located on the [[Mare Imbrium]], to the east of [[Timocharis (crater)|Timocharis crater]]. Just to the northwest is the matching twin [[Feuillée (crater)|Feuillée crater]].
Beer is a circular, cup-shaped crater with a sharp-edged rim that has not been significantly eroded. The interior has a higher [[albedo]] than the surrounding [[lunar mare]], which is usually an indication of a relatively young crater. A string of craterlets arc away from the rim to the southwest.
The [[Lunar mare|''maria'']] to the east has a higher [[albedo]] than the surrounding surface, and this lighter-[[hue]]d surface reaches to the base of the [[Montes Archimedes]]. To the southeast of Beer is a [[lunar dome]] that is of comparable diameter to the crater.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Beer crater.
