Beer recommendations for a wedding

Hey folks. Just posted to r/wine with a similar question, but figured we should offer some beer at our wedding as well. I don't know much about beer but figured a post here might provoke some interesting suggestions that would pair well with the below menu and be generally likable for your average wedding guest.

The menu is:

PASSED APPETIZERS:

  • cedar planked local mussels (aioli, sea salt, citrus)

  • tomato fig toast (grilled bread, torn mozzarella, basils, olive oil)

  • lamb meatball (mint pistou*, harissa)

  • shaved summer squash flatbread from the wood oven (maitake mushrooms, spicy greens, crescenza, verbena, parmigiano reggiano)

FAMILY STYLE MEAL:

  • charred beet & plum salad (grilled bunching onions, herbs, pomegranate molasses)

  • saffron rice, pistachios (dried fruit and herbs)

  • whole grilled mcfarland springs trout (lemongrass, herbs, lemon wedges, olive oil, crunchy salt)

  • long-roasted pork shoulder (chimichurri, crispy fennel & onions)

  • crispy chickpea corn fritters (piperade sauce|plated individually for vegetarians)

  • blistered green beans (sungold tomato vinaigrette, sesame)

DESSERT:

  • best-of-season fruit pies

The wedding will be outdoor, family style food, with a self-service bar. Weather should be pleasant (high 70s cooling off over the night). I'm happy to go to a specialty beer store for recommendations but not interested in wild goose chases for hard-to-find items. Thanks in advance!
