We want to incorporate beer into our ceremony, and were planning on some sort of Unity Beer thing. A lot of couples do unity candles, where they each light a candle, and then use those two candles to light a larger "union" candle. Or unity sand, where they each pour a different color of sand into a jar, creating a mixture that cannot be separated. Blah blah blah....
So my thinking with the Unity Beer was that we could each pour a different beer into a single pint glass, to create a unique (better?) brew of which we would then each take a sip (gulp gulp gulp). Symbolic of two individuals becoming better once they are together. We may also have the officiant say something about how the ingredients of beer (water, barley, hops, and yeast) are simple on their own, but when carefully combined, they produce a wonderful beverage. And relationships are like that in many ways.
I have two questions for all of you...
(1) Do you have any suggestions for two different beers we could use for this ceremony that would taste really great mixed together? Of course there is the standard Black And Tan, but are there any others?
(2) Alternatively, do you have any ideas of other ways to incorporate beer into the ceremony?
I look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions!
That is perfect! Also, thanks for the beer mixing suggestions. We both love IPAs, so maybe we will mix two different IPAs. Equality and deliciousness! 
And I have no doubt a beer chugging contest will occur at some point during the evening.
