It depends how much you think it might have... if it has a lot, it will be flammable, and have a easily identifiable odor (isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol, and ethanol is the alcohol in alcoholic beverages).Small amounts will be harder to test for without doing a more involved chemical test.
Is isopropyl alcohol the same as denatured alcohol?

Does beer contain ethanol alcohol?
Beer does contain ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Beer is made from water, barley, hops, and yeast. The water and barley are mashed to produce sugars that the yeast metabolizes to produce ethanol. Beer yeast can produce alcohol levels from 2.5-18% alcohol by volume.
