I haven't tried it, but I note that someone on the web has:

Beer soup
Categories: Soups 
Yield: 1 Servings

Mix beer with yolks and sugar in a jug. Pour into saucepan and beat with 
rotary whisk, until it boils. Remove from heat at boiling point, add 
butter and serve with a garnish of parsley and paprika. Taken from:
