@davel As a lot of scientists! For example, Niels Bohr has a beer's pipeline in his home gifted him by Carlsberg!

It seems that’s a tall tale with a kernel of truth.

“There was no such pipeline, but indeed Niels Bohr was entitled to free delivery of beer in the form of kegs and bottles/crates from 1932 to 1962.”
