Question in search of some clarity: When you say “they” Are you referring to a specific beer made by a specific brewery when you refer to these pasteurized beverages? At least as it pertains to the article, not all of Magic Hat’s products involve this brewing process, unless I’ve misunderstood you?

Craft beer bars I go into in the US in general. I'm sure there's tons of exceptions. But in general the beer scene in the US seem to prioritise having a great many taps, over having a smaller number of higher quality beers, and I think quality suffers because of that, through things like old beer, use of kegs and carbonisation.

  Are you sure your personal taste and preferences (which are fine to have, everyone has different tolerances for different flavors and experiences with beverages) aren’t getting projected onto an entire industry here? Of course it’s entirely possible that local craft bars could probably clean their lines a bit better, I’ve definitely experienced this when ordering a beer made by one of the breweries I worked for and immediately Noticing “nope that’s not how this is supposed to taste”, we offered to clean their lines for free because it directly affected perception of our product if people think our beer is skunky due to poor cleaning practices, and wouldn’t you know it the next pour tasted much better. Many craft breweries do this, as well, sometimes employees of bars just take one beer off a line and out on a totally different style of beer without a thorough flush (often times just out of ignorance not knowing better) and you Will definitely taste the difference. So maybe this is a quality control issue with the service delivery and not the way beers are brewed and stored?
