Don't they pasteurise the beer to preserve it?
Wasn't there some evidence that showed traces of Pesticide in some Lager-Beers?

I always knew you can’t trust the cheese eating, beer fiddling, surrender monkeys
I think that (and filtering or centrifuging) is more to do with remove residual yeasts so there is no bottle, cask or keg conditioning going on. So more to do with getting a consistent product than stopping it going off. Bottle and cask conditioned beers are not pasteurised and are not usually filtered* so they condition in the bottle or cask and you can be less certain that the beer will taste the same in a month as it does today.
It is natural for the flavour of beer to change over times. Many home brewers drink the first bottle a couple of weeks after bottling and think "that is OK", a month later, they get to the last bottle from the batch, when the beer has conditioned and it tastes great. That wouldn't happen if it had been pasteurised or filtered.
*In some cases breweries will filter or centrifuge the beer and then "bottling yeast" for bottle conditioned beers.
