What Causes Reddening Of Skin On Face After Drinking Beer?

Hi, when I drink certain types of beer, the skin on my face and sometimes around my upper neck, almost immediately comes out in a near complete redness. It feels warm and tends to go away again after about 20 to 30 minutes. Why?

I'm male, good health and 41.
