While beer has an expiration date, that relates to taste and quality more than food spoilage. Beer is an alcoholic beverage, which of course does not "spoil." Beer was, in fact, the beverage of choice on long ocean sailing expeditions back before food storage science improved (per-refrigeration and sterile storage). Beer goes stale (flavor), and can go flat, but does not really spoil.

There are a number of bacterias that can infect beer, but these affect more the flavor; there's not much that is more unpalatable than sour beer.

There won't be a problem! As long as the beer has been properly stored it should be fine. If it has been exposed to high heat, or is bottled and stored in the sun, it can go skunky.
