I don't see your problem.

Certainly it is easy to see that for many examples:
Given a bunch of boxes containing sets of beer
it is possible to find a set of beers that is not
contained in any of the boxes.

From there the question is

Assume we can have an infinite number of boxes
and an infinite number of beers
Is it still possible to find a set of beers
that is not in any of the boxes.

The answer is yes.

So we conclude that it is not possible to have an
infinite number of boxes that contains
every set of beers.

you certainly don't. and we don't feel your pain either.
