If the beam is rough sawn, you are probably out of luck. It will never look as if it wasn't painted at one time. If it is smooth, a gel type of paint stripper is your best bet. You "paint on" the gel stripper with a brish and then let it do its' job before scraping it off. You will be left with some detail work, but the bulk of the paint will be removed fairly easily. Gel type stripper is widely available at any home improvement retailer, hardware, or paint store.
Good luck with your paint removal project.

Try rubbing alcohol, it honestly works like a charm, just a dab of alcohol and lightly rub the paint. I can't begin to tell you how many this has worked for me. Good luck!
