   You could always brew your own.   
      
   I did, back in the day when Boots (a UK pharmacy chain) used to sell home   
   brew kits and I was sharing a house with another guy. It was surprisingly   
   easy to do and quite fun as well.   
      
   The beer kits took a lot of the work out of the job by providing yeast   
   and cans of malt-like condensed wort - just mix the can contents and   
   sugar with warm water in a 60 pint plastic bucket, add yeast, put the lid   
   on until the prime fermentation ends, transfer to a cask (we used 60 pint   
   plastic beer spheres), add a bit more sugar and let it mature, then   
   drink. The beer sphere's pressure was be topped up from a small CO2   
   cylinder as it got down past half way. We had one bucket and two beer   
   spheres. Perfection: the next brew was ready at just about the time we   
   finished the one we were drinking. If there's only one of you doing the   
   drinking, use 30 pint batches instead.
