Wanna go grab some beer? Why we can have two verb without a conjunction? Can someone explain?
Wanna go grab some beer? Why we can have two verb without a conjunction? Can someone explain?
Is it a common phrase that is not grammatically right? Or we have some other rules explaining that?
Thank you!

The correct form is 'Do you want to go and grab (or go to grab) some beer?'
The construction 'go+ bare infinitive' and 'come+ bare infinitive' is very common in spoken and informal American English. Other examples are:
'Let's go eat'
'Come play baseball'
You asked, 'Is it a common phrase that is not grammatically right?'. Well, it's certainly a common phrase. Is it grammatically wrong? No, it's not wrong. It's a simply a feature of the language, and it's the way that many native speakers speak. It's non-standard, but it's not incorrect.

From http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/go_1:
In spoken English go can be used with and plus another verb to show purpose or to tell somebody what to do: I'll go and answer the door. Go and get me a drink!
The 'and' is sometimes left out, especially in North American English: Go ask your mom!
