In Spanish, "another beer" is otra cerveza.
The phrase is used to request an additional serving of a beer beverage. In a bar or restaurant setting, if the context of the conversation has already established that you are drinking beer, you can colloquially say una más to mean "one more" or "another beer".
Is it said differently in some regions?
