As Native Americans, as a whole did not have "beer" in European sense until post-contact times, this question may be moot. However, the Incas brewed a beer-like alcoholic beverage known as "Chica" and some Pueblo cultures also brewed "Tiswin" from corn or prickly Pears. Perhaps most famous would the Aztecs "Pulque" or "Octli in Nuatal. This beverage was made of fermented sap from the Agave or Maguey cactus.
Pre-contact, there were over 500 native American nations in North America speaking many different languages. So there is no such thing as a native American word for something just as you don't refer to a European word for beer...too many cultures, you'd have to ask ever linguistic group what their translation for the word is.
If you are referring to historical forms of beer the first paragraph is probably the extent of beer making in North and South America. Alcohol was rare , hence it's very destructive and tragic history amongst Native people in North America.
