Bah!
Fantastic beer can be had for $8-10 per 5 gallons (about 2 cases). It does take an investment in a little equipment and technique.
the HBD (Homebrewdigest) used to be a good source of info. Chalie Papazian's Books are pretty good for a start. If you really want to get good, you need some books on how to from grain.
I have ot tell you, it's much easier than you think, just a bit time consuming. When I had my technique down and was producing every saturday, it was about a 5 hour process from start to finish, including cleaning, and moving the 'other two' batches around.
Drinkable beer can be made in 4-10 days. Really really good ber can be made in about 2-3 weeks.
OTOH, if you want 'cheap' beer without the hassel, buy an old refrigerator, buy a beer tap. a CO2 bottle and regulator and then buy kegs. Cheap beer can be $50/keg. Really really good beer can be $85-90/keg (15 gallons).
