William Andrew Beer (1862-1954) was an English artist, known for painting racing pigeons, in oil on canvas, under the working name of Andrew Beer. A racing pigeon enthusiast himself, he was a judge at competitive pigeon shows.[1]

Beer had a studio in Eastville, Bristol,[1] to which the pigeons he was to paint were sometimes sent by train, arriving at the nearby Stapleton Road Station.[2] He typically painted pigeons at near life-size, singly or in small groups, in side-on view, against similar backgrounds. He often included text, noting the pigeons' names and achievements.

His works are in the collections of Bristol Museum & Art Gallery,[2] Pontypridd Museum[3] and the Radstock, Midsomer Norton & District Museum Society.[4]

He also painted scenes of southern England, which were issued as postcards.
