So ya wanna drink beer right, you also have no money, and you're reaaaaaally lazy. WHAT TO DO!? Well have I got a tip for YOU!
Get yourself a sciencey buff who is into researching and studying up on anything (ANYTHING) and team them up with a friend who is so pent up with mood swings that they are looking for something (ANYTHING) to do with their hands. Ask them if they want to join your beer brewing club and hey presto! You got yourself some free beer.
Sure, if you wanna get involved you can buy the cans, read the instructions and clean everything really well. Or you can do what my lackies do and buy all the grains and hops and brew it from scratch (you should get something like the brewpal app if ya wanna get that fancy tho). Tastes a lot better that way, but you need some hard working chumps and you may have to help hold crap from time to time.
So follow my sure fire method to cheap lazy beer and you'll never go hungry* again.
*you should demand they make you snacks while they are brewing or you will in fact go hungry.

SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
