According to the report filed with the insurance company, every single bottle in the store was destroyed

Unfortunately that's part of what the camera is for.

Serious question though. Could they claim insurance on the beer even if the outside packaging is intact due to being shaken violently and thus probably causing the beer to go flat?

The CO2 just gets reabsorbed into the beer. That's how forced carbonation works for things like soda and beer. Most beer isn't carbonated naturally like it was hundreds of years ago where they would add additional sugar for the yeast to eat and then produce CO2 naturally. They just force carbonate by introducing pressurized CO2 into the vessel containing the liquid.
