Most beer still has some yeast in it when it's bottled/canned (and unfiltered beer has a lot of yeast in it) - so it can continue to ferment after it is bottled. This is why keeping beer cold is so important - it stunts re-fermentation. Also, beers like Corona which come in a clear bottle will also go "bad" due to exposure to sunlight. Sunlight reacts with the ingredients in beer and will cause it to oxidize and certain enzymes to react within the beer. This will allow certain bacteria to fester and can cause the beer to taste bad. There is really nothing that can live in beer that will harm you (unless you are allergic to it) - but there are many, many bacteria that can alter the taste of the beer. Ideally, beer should be kept at 64 degrees or colder and should be packaged in either a can or a dark bottle. Of course, like wine, beer can be cellared (I cellar between 54-58 degrees) - and this is to purposely alter the flavor. This works best with "big" beers - or beers with a high alcohol content - because the alcohol will keep most of the nastier bacteria at bay. Beer does go bad – just in a different way from food.
