Of course there are no beer premixes ala soda. Obviously.
But if you want a beer on tap, or to carbonate beer in a keg
rather than natural priming, or carbonate beer to bottle it
without lees and dregs natural priming leaves in a bottle,
one usually uses a corny keg and CO2 tank and regulator.

To the original poster, ignore the above nonsense about
soft drinks.

Kegs are pretty standard way of handling home brew.
Google: homebrew, cornelius keg, keg systems.
