If you're making this dip cold, chilling also gives the flavors time to come together. I like to chill it for about 2 hours prior to serving. However, it's still totally fine to serve this right after preparing it if you don't the extra time for chilling.
This dip can also be made with non-alcoholic beer. O'Doul's, Corona, Coors, Samuel Adams all make really good non alcoholic beers that will also work in this recipe.
