If one wanted to approximate the flavor of beer in say PG/VG for mixing, I would suggest simply contacting your local homebrew outfit and getting some whole dried hops.

Beer is a surprisingly simple beverage to make and the strongest flavor, the "beer" flavor as it were, comes from hops.

I do NOT recommend hops pellets (ugh) but getting a packet of some quality hops. They are dried and are sold in silvery mylar vacuum-sealed packets.

Seriously. Stay away from pelletized hops. Look like rabbit food. No good. :)

Hops, good hops, pack a LOT of flavor in relatively small space, most of which is acid based, tho some oil. As you wouldn't be heating this in your PG/VG, I wouldn't be too worried about oil clogging up your atty.

Simply crush/bruise the dried hops between your fingers (a sniff and you'll smell 'beer') and drop into you PG/VG to soak for a bit.

Hops are bittering agents, so you'll probably want to experiment a bit with the soak time to make a formulation that is right for your taste.

Hope this was helpful :)
