I'm struggling to figure out a way to change the color of materials like glass, water, beer and hard plastic. IS there a work around to be able to change the color of these materials? Thanks!

The Adobe Standard Material is fairly advanced so it has a lot of different color fields depending on what you're trying to do.  For the materials you listed above, they are all translucent materials and most likely you'll want to play with absorption color and absorption distance to get the changes you're looking for.  It could also use scattering like hard plastic.  

 

Here's a link to detailed Adobe Standard Material (ASM) specifications:
