Who is Drew Carey?
According to Wikipedia:
Drew Allison Carey (born May 23, 1958) is an American actor and comedian recognizable by his crew cut and black-rimmed glasses. After making a name for himself in stand up comedy he eventually gained popularity starring on his own self-titled sitcom.

Carey was born and raised in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. After playing the cornet and trumpet in the marching band of Rhodes High School, he continued on to college at Kent State University. He joined the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and later was expelled twice.

After dropping out of the university, Carey joined the United States Marine Corps in 1980. He served there for several years, and in 1985, he began his comedy career by following up on a suggestion by a friend to borrow books on how to write jokes from the library. In 1986, after winning an open-mic contest, he became emcee at the Cleveland Comedy Club. For the next few years, he performed at multiple comedy clubs in Cleveland and Los Angeles.

Carey was working as a stand-up comedian in 1991 when he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. His performance that night was considered a success and impressed Johnny Carson personally. Carey claims he reached the limit on his credit card the next day returning calls from interested casting directors and he credited Carson with making his career. He subsequently appeared in a number of supporting roles on television shows, some of them alongside Kathy Kinney, in which he developed the character of a hapless middle-class bachelor.

In 1993, Carey had a small role in the movie Coneheads as a taxi passenger. Turning his attention to television, in 1994, Carey co-starred in The Good Life, a short-lived sitcom that aired on NBC. Finally, in 1995 ABC began showing The Drew Carey Show, a sitcom that featured Carey and Kathy Kinney in their previous characters. Carey played the assistant director of personnel at a department store in Cleveland, Ohio while Kinney played the obnoxious secretary of Carey's boss. The program lasted for nine seasons.

In 1998, Carey hosted the United States version of the improvisational comedy show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

In 2000, Carey starred in the TV film Geppetto for an ABC presentation of the Wonderful World of Disney.

For The WB's 2004 - 2005 prime time schedule, Carey co-produced and starred in Drew Carey's Green Screen Show, a spin-off of Whose Line Is It Anyway. It was cancelled by the WB, but picked up shortly afterward by Comedy Central. He also guest starred in 2000 on The Geena Davis Show.

In 2005, Drew Carey provided a voice-over for the character Crank in the animated film Robots.

On June 8, 2006, Drew Carey's Sporting Adventures debuted on the Travel Channel. Carey travels throughout Europe to photograph multiple soccer games while he immerses himself in the culture of each country he visits.

Why "Dirty Jokes & Beer"?
That is actually the title of a book Drew Carey wrote. Perhaps not entirely original name, since I didn't make it up, but what the heck. :P I thought it pretty much sums him up as a comedian. *nods*
