1. Fill a deep pan (wide enough for the beans) with a 2-3 of inches of oil. heat the oil to 350 to 375 degrees.
2. Season the flour with salt and pepper, then add the beer slowly to make a thin batter, about the consistency of pancake batter.
3. Wash, dry, and trim just the stem end off the beans.
4. Drop the beans in the batter, and then into the hot oil. They will fry to golden in about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Don't overcrowd the oil or the beans will stick to each other and the temperature of the oil will drop.
5. Serve hot with sauce.
6. To make the aioli, whisk all the ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.
