Yet same wouldn’t apply to stale beer that went bad after a few days or weeks?

  No, it wouldn't. It's very difficult to produce beer where harmful organisms can multiply. Post-fermentation it's an extremely difficult environment for most organisms.

    Brewed beer can get yeast or bacterial infections, especially if you cannot refrigerate it and don't have the means to sanitize recipients.
    • larsga 2y ago
      Yes, it can. But infections by harmful organisms is very difficult to achieve. The common spoilage organisms in beer are all harmless to humans. Here's a good overview http://mmbr.asm.org/content/77/2/157.long http://mmbr.asm.org/content/77/2/157.long Just the hops alone stop pretty much all gram-positive bacteria except Lactobacillus and a few other harmless ones.
