#1 Yes it can.

On the moon where there is gravity you could have the traditional beer that is carbonated.

In space... little more tricky. Microgravity keeps the CO2 from separating with the liquid, just like oil and water mixed in zero g don't separate. It makes it a bit problematic after it is drunk since you will burp and it would be a liquid burp.

There is actually a brewery in Australia that is perfecting a flat beer that can be taken and drunk in zero g safely while still tasting similar to what we drink on the ground.

Liquid burps, lumpy flatulence, the challenges of growing old.
