Yeah, those are grubs. Never heard about beer. What you have probably works. I used pellets--grub-x--and they seem to be gone now. Spray can work as well, but you want it in the soil. The pellets should be easy enough to apply just to the ground, and they'll soak in. They won't really disappear until next year regardless, though. I think the white things are the pupae (or whatever), that come up in the fall.

Argh!!! Don't put those scary chemicals in your yard! For grubs/cutworms, use beneficial nematodes. They're microscopic creatures that you buy on a little sponge. You soak the sponge in water, then load the water into a pump sprayer and spray on your beds. The nematodes are bad for the cutworms but not anything else.
That reminds me, I need to pick some up this week. Time for another application. At least with nematodes (as opposed to deer repellent, rodent repellent, slug bait, neem oil, etc. etc.) I don't have to worry about our lovely early June rains washing away my handiwork.
