Some beers use a filtering proces. Isinglass from fish bladders, and a form of seaweed known as "irish moss" can be used (amongst other additives) to congeal proteins during the boiling and fermentation process of beer brewing. This means the proteins can be left behind when bottling/kegging the beer. It makes the beer more bright and clear, it doesnt effect the taste. For this reason some beer can not be considered vegan.

How do breweries bottle beer without sediment?
Breweries often use a method called cold crashing, where the beer is rapidly chilled to near-freezing temperatures before bottling. This process causes yeast and other particles to settle at the bottom of the fermentation vessel, leading to a clearer beer. Additionally, some breweries use filtration systems to remove sediment before bottling, ensuring that the final product is free of any particles. Finally, careful handling during the bottling process helps minimize any disturbance of sediment that may still be present.

To effectively carbonate beer in bottles, you can add a small amount of sugar to the beer before bottling. This sugar will ferment in the bottle, creating carbon dioxide which will carbonate the beer. Make sure to use the right amount of sugar and let the beer sit at room temperature for a few weeks to allow for proper carbonation.
