My guess is because the Bloody Mary is a salad and the beer is bread... easy dinner 😌

Beer is often served with a Bloody Mary for a variety of reasons, including:

Vodka shortages
In the 1950s, vodka shortages in the United States and other countries led bartenders to substitute beer for vodka in Bloody Marys.

Contrast in flavors
The bitterness of the beer contrasts with the Bloody Mary's heat and umami flavors.

A tradition
The tradition of serving beer with a Bloody Mary is especially prevalent in Wisconsin, where it's considered a weekend brunch staple.

Different types of beer
Different types of beer can add different flavors to a Bloody Mary, such as a bitter edge from an IPA or a rich flavor from an amber lager.

The small portion of beer served with a Bloody Mary is sometimes called a "snit". The word "snit" may come from the German word schnitt, which means "cut".
