I believe that one of the main verified aspects of cannabis consumption is something called the munchies. Users want to eat. And when humans eat, they want to drink as well. And if the cannabis use is in a social context, the food that they eat will be social food. Since people are programmed to drink beer with social food, I can only see the use of cannabis being a driver for beer consumption.
However, there will likely be a big impact on beer sales for Wall street. They see the beer sales of big publicly traded companies, brands like Budweiser, etc. But in the world of cannabis consumption people are more likely to be consuming beer from small local breweries, which fly under Wall Street's radar because they are more like trendy restaurants than like McDonalds.
I do expect legal weed to change things, but I don't expect beer sales to go down. However the big breweries will lose market share because consumption patterns will change. If your business model requires vast numbers of people to buy your product, then a future in which people are more diverse, is not a good one for you.
And if you look at how many people are explicitly rejecting mass conformity such as political correctness, you can see problems for Wall Street while at the same time business is booming and local scale businesses thrive.
