Studies show that 8-Prenylnaringenin found in beer is one of the most potent estrogenic compounds there is. Up to 150x more estrogenic than the phytoestrogens found in soy. Studies estimate that moderate beer consumption contains 2 milligrams of 8-Prenylnaringenin. Assuming it is 100x weaker than estrogen, this means that you're getting about the same dose as a birth control pill. The only thing that beer will get you is man boobs.
Here is the study, "The Potent Phytoestrogen 8-Prenylnaringenin: A Friend or a Foe?" Raimo Pohjanvirta and Atefeh Nasri, March 2022.
