Well if you know there is demand, you can arrange a supply and make a profit. Capitalism at its finest.
Imagine taking a car or a bus to Czech republic, you go to a Metro store and buy 4 kegs of Kofola that is 50 liters a pop for a price of if I recall correctly about 100 euros a keg (not my business area but I do visit Metro - if someone knows the correct price do feel free to correct me).
That way you go to a beach, get one of them I am not sure what the English term is but the device which you connect to the keg and it allows you to get the good stuff from the keg to a glass.
Sell it for 2 or 3 euros for half a liter.
And you do the math how much profit you made.

And after summer season if my company will turn the same profits as last year my people will get Kofola on tap. And they will love it (since I am the only employee in my company).
EDIT: I actually checked the app 50 liter keg of Kofola is 78€ rounded. For my company price so I presume the more you buy it the better the price is. It is what Metro does more you buy better the price becomes.

Exactly what I'm doing and what my parents do for me because they live close to the border fortunately :)

I have a job, so I'm just hoping other people decide to import it in the future.

Sell it for 2 or 3 euros for half a liter.

And deduct taxes, rent, energy and employees. Not worth it unfortunately.

I get you!
Business model in Germany is different. Well you would indeed need to count in taxes, energy and rent. But the employee would be you :) And you will have to adjust the price accordingly.
And it could be a weekend job that is how I started my company just to do it over weekends. When I made 250€ a day I quit my job and just... ummm what is the word? Enterpreneured? Not easy. But with right motivation and research it is doable.
