Yes, with time it gets rancid.

Most beer has a shelf life of 4 months if properly stored after brewing. There are however a few beers, mostly the Belgian ales, which get better with age, as in they continue to ferment in the bottle. That is the exception though rather than the rule.

Cheap U.S.-made beers do. Generally, the higher the alcoholic content of the beer, the longer it will last -- or improve. When I make a spruce beer, I won't even open the first bottle for a year or two. Barleywine, double bock, and strong ales also can (and probably should) be cellared for awhile. Budweiser advertises its freshness because it has nothing else going for it.

Yes. Sad to say but beer only got 1/2 to 1 year of shelf life. After the expiry date, small settlements starts to set in but it's still drinkable. It's off taste, that's all...
Self experiment:
(turn bottle around, see it under a strong light & you will know why)

Just about everything has an expiration date.

Certain beers and ales are refered to as LIVE.
They continue to ferment in the bottle.
These have no sell/use by date.

Yes, beer should be drunk as fresh as possible, learn to read the date codes.
