question about noun and adjective genders
if "пиво" is a neutral noun (neither masculine nor feminine) why is it correct to say "большое пиво" and not "большой пиво" ?

neutral noun "большое пиво" is correct. but it's unnatural expression. we don't use it. better to say "много пива" or "большая бутылка пива"

it's correct
suffixes for adjectives in nominative:
-ой for masculine
-ое for neutral
-ая for feminine
We usually don't say big beer, we prefer to say big bottle/glass/barrel of beer

because neutral of большой is большое. Nominative case большое пиво, gen.c. большого пива, dat.c. большому пиву, acc.c. большое пиво, instrum. c. большим пивом, prepos.c. о большом пиве.

As in in English, we don't use size with things, which cannot be counted. We use small portion of beer /малую порцию пива/, big bottle of beer /= большую бутылку пива/ end etc.
Do mention that russian words here are used in accusative.
And ending of adjective depends on the tare
