This was very confusing to me - I drink bottled or canned beer; but I think they’re referring to draft beer:

Pressurized carbon dioxide is used to move the beer from the keg to the tap. Running out of CO2 is as bad as running out of beer.

I love beer; but maltose doesn’t seem to agree with me.

I’ve switched back to wine.

We did it with hand pumps back in the day.

The good “real/craft beer/ale” spots in the UK still use an old-fashioned pump system. No CO2 tanks involved.
