Nausea/Upset stomach after beer

Hi

I had 3 or 4 pints of ale/bitter yesterday (not lager) and about an hour later had a sudden nausea. I ate pasta after this started and drank some water. Now, today, the nausea isnt as strong but my stomach feels queasy ( I feel a little bit nauseous still and my tummy rumbles, and I get some flatulence/gas etc)

My question is why would this happen after beer? I don't usually get an upset stomach after drinking beer (although I usually drink lager), but I do have an acid reflux problem which Ive had for a number of years ( I take pepcid 2 when needed at night and that does the trick).

I do not have a fever, I have not vomited and I have not had diarrhea.

How long do upset stomachs take to normalise? It is 20 hrs now and it still feels queasy, although as stated I dont think the nausea is as bad as last night.

Thanks
