Two questions...
(1) Does your servlet implement a doPost() method? Since you are
POSTing the form, you need to do that.
(2) Is there a typo in your form there? I see:
<form method=3D"POST" action=3D"BeerSelect">
That's not proper... my guess is you want:
<form method="3DPOST" action="3DBeerSelect">
