    I don't remember the first, but prolly something like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Big Foot, Sam Adams Boston Lager or Boulevard IPA. I still buy a few cases of these and a few others like Dales Pale Ale, Dogfish Head 90, Abita Andygator or Sam Adams Octoberfest.

    Sam Adams Lager 1985. Harpoon golden lager 1986 (better that the ipa -- great painted labels-- beer discontinued years ago ).

    The only case I've bought was a 24-pack of Victory At Sea. No complaints. Would do it again.

    Back when I didn't know what good craft beer was, Bluepoint Pumpkin Ale. Then when I got into better craft beer, Dogfish Head 60 Minute.

    Expedition Stout - get a case every year and let it age for at least 2 years.

    I don't really purchase cases often. I think I've purchased a case of Fat Tire and Samuel Adams Oktoberfest.

    Sorry. I replied to someone's post about Zombie Dust and accidentally deleted it. I apologize.

    I believe the only time I've purchased a full case of something was RR Pliny. I should do that again..

    I just had my brother in WI buy me a case of New Glarus Cran-bic. Can't wait until Christmas when I'll be able to pick it up. I hope Dan Carey makes that beer forever!

    You mean from one of the first widely distributed craft brewing pioneers, Sam Adams?

    Never had a reason to pick up an entire case. Until Stone's Ruin Ten. I bought two.
