We know that , the pressure inside beer bottle is about 2 atm that is double of atmospheric pressure. Fizziness in beer is created by dissolved carbon diaoxide (CO2).
When we open the bottle , the pressure inside the bottle reduces immediately. And the pressure in the neck drops very quickly to be equal to surrounding's pressure ( atmospheric pressure -1 atm). As we know that temperature is directly proportional to the pressure. So drastic decrease in pressure causes drastic decrease in temperature. And the water vapours in the neck condenses into a cloud and hence a cloud is formed at neck of the bottle when cap is removed. The dissolved CO2 also forms bubble at the bottle surface.
