I spilled beer all over my new silk dress. I took it to the dry cleaners immediately and pointed out the stain, but they dry cleaned it without removing the stain. Do you have any ideas on how to remove this beer stain even though it is already set in?

The alcohol (sugar) in the drink may be what stained it. Someone spilled white wine on the back of my wedding dress and the cleaners couldn't fix it. I took it to another place and they hand washed it in water to get all that sugar out and now it looks great. I think most things can be hand washed and that is the only way to really get out that sugar which will turn it brown over time.
For years I have hand washed my silk blouses and cashmere sweaters in a sink. Use cool water and a tiny bit of gentle soap. Just place one item in the sink, soak for 2-3 minutes and gently squeeze or swish the water thru the garment. Do not lift the garment from the water. Drain the sink first by pushing the garment to the side and pull the drain. Refill sink with cool water, swish garment again, than drain water away.
