Do you buy beer by the case?

I voted no.

The last case I bought was probably a 30-pack of Hamm's at the start of the 2015-17 summer. There may have been a case of Lone Star in there somewhere over the past 5 years, too. Everything else has been 12-packs or smaller and not many 12-packs.

 

SNPA, Hamms, mixed cases of Sierra Nevada and New Belgium at Costco and varied singles of many.

 

Yes, the Best of Spaten variety pack? Bought that the last 2 years. Hard to pass up at Total Wine for only around $25.

 

not only "no" but " hell no". I have only been tracking my beer consumption for 11 months and I average less than 7 beers per week but I have reviewed 100 different beers in that time. I love variety more than I love any single beer. The only beer i buy as more than a single can is a couple NA beers and a verrrry small universe of selected other beers that I really like.I have never in the last year bought more than one 6 pk/ 4 pk of anything.

 

Only beers that I have to mount an expedition to obtain. Tree House and Creature Comforts.

 

Never. It's probably been over 20 years since I bought a case of anything.
I will buy 4 different six packs, or 2 twelve packs on occasion, but rarely.

 

Hamms is my "easy drinking, I just want to drink it, not form a relationship with it" beer, so I regularly purchase 30 packs. The last case I bought was a mix from Tree House around thanksgiving. Before that, I think it was Genesee Specialty Honey Brown Lager last summer. It was different several years back when you couldn't buy less than a case in PA. Outside of Hamms, it's rare for me to buy more than a 4 or 6, occasionally a 12-usually a mix pack. I can probably count on two hands the number of singles I've bought in my life.

So I'm not sure how to answer. Yes, I buy cases of beer. But it's so rare that I feel like I'm lying if I answer yes...

 

I often build two Mix-A-Six packs and grab 6 or so singles, but never a case of beer.

 

I bought a case of Grain Belt back in '04. That was the last case of anything I ever bought, and it was for nostalgic reasons more than anything else. About as high as I'll normally go is a 12-pack of SN Oktoberfest or an interesting-sounding variety pack, which I'll divvy up among a few friends. A sixer of Hopslam and a four-pack of The Waldos' once a year and that's it for the multi-packs. The rest of the time, it's singles. (Exception: if I'm traveling, I'll usually pick up a few sixers and make up some mix packs for my buds back home.)

True story on the Grain Belt: I opened a bottle one evening, then poured a little of it into a cut-down Solo cup which I set down next to the dog's dish. I poured the rest into a glass and put the empty bottle back into the case with the others before going to the living room to relax. Max came in and began lapping up his share. A couple of minutes later, I heard bottles clinking together in the kitchen. Max, apparently not satisfied with his paltry portion, was on the hunt for more. RIP, old friend!

Vote casted, Jack. Cheers!

 

I used to purchase cases of Victory Lager by the case (back when it was the Brandywine Creek double decoction mash formula). Would still buy it by the case today if it were available.

Today mostly cases of mixed 4 packs from Other Half, Grimm, EQ, Finback, D96, Trillium.

 

The only beer I purchase by the case (30 pack, actually) is Genny Light.

 

Ofc! Usually there is one case of Helles or Pilsener in my house. Currently Ayinger Hell.

 

Pretty regular buyer of High Life cubes. I also regularly buy 12 packs of craft cans (sometimes even the founders 15 packs!) I like the 12 ounce format, and there are quite a few offerings that come in 12 packs now.

 

If I could buy full cases of Anchor Liberty Ale, or the 19 oz Steam cans, I would do it in a heartbeat - sadly, the distributor here in NE Ohio sucks, and does not carry these products.....so, no....I do not buy beer by the case, generally speaking

 

Mostly by the case, much more economical. I buy a lot of beer on sale at a place that does pallet sales so $40+ cases for $25-30 a good amount of time. I also buy Hamms and High life by the case. I do but six and fours but when I start to do the math $70-80 per case it’s not worth it to me and most times the beer is just good and not worth the extra. I don’t really get bored and a lot of purchases are Yards mix packs and other mix when available.

Enjoy

 

I used to buy 3-5 cases of both Summerfest and SN Octoberfest annually but we all know how this story ends.
