    I bought 3 4 packs of Wheatland Spring Corn Crib. Does that count?

    I don't remember the last 12 pack I bought a 12 pack. I'm not buying singles (besides crowlers). I'm repeat buying some brands too. I just don't find myself in situations where a 12 pack is appealing (I'm in a small apartment, so I don't have a spare beer fridge). I guess if I had to pick, it would be a Jack's Abby House Lager. I don't even know what I'd get in Virginia.

    Genesee dry hopped cream ale is a seriously good lighter beer. $9.99 a 12 pack helps too.

    I reckon that I am done with buying anything more than a 6pack and even that is iffy.

    Dale’s Pale Ale doesn’t disappoint

    It used to be Daisy Cutter when they made it in 12 for a brief time.

    I’d say right now it’s either Stone IPA or SABL.

    I bought a six of Schlitz the other day and I wish it was a 12 pack. Good stuff.

    Yuengling Hershey’s Porter is a pretty solid brew if you like an economical dark beer. I really don’t like many porters, but I like this one. It has a good flavor and human-level ABV.

    When I first starting drinking beer, I did enjoy Old Milwaukee. Nowadays, “human-level” ABV yellow beers bring out some abnormal exponential urine to beer ratio, so I tend to avoid them. Color me weird, man. One nice imperial is better on many levels to multiple pee inducers, IMHO.

    We're 30 posts in and no one has mentioned Spotted Cow. What am I missing here?

    Firestone’s mixed ipa is good, $15.99 around me and you get a variety so you’re not drinking 12 of the same beers. Plus, there is always one beer that is exclusive to the pack.

    Racer 5 and Little Sumpin are solid options that haven’t been mentioned.

    my first thought is that’s a given since the op is in WI.

    Random thought and off topic but the majority of 12 packs are light or hoppy beers. Too bad there aren’t any 12 packs of beers like founders porter, Sierra Nevada’s stout or a mixed dark beer pack with a brown, porter and stout. I get it most people don’t want 12 stouts but I do.

    Hamm's
    Lone Star
    Lone Star Light
    Schlitz
    Pearl
    Coors (original/yellow bellies ... NOT Coors Light)

    The only reason I'd buy a 12-pack these days would be to save money while stocking up for a BBQ/party/gathering, and all of the above would fit that criteria. If I felt like spending a wee more, I'd look for:

    Warsteiner Pilsener
    Live Oak Pilz
    Real Ale Hans' Pils
    Founders All Day IPA

    Cheers!

    Victory mixed 15 packs are going for 15.99 at Woodmans. Pretty solid if the IPAs are still fresh. Golden Monkey is always nice. Oskar Blues has a mixed 15 pack as well that is pretty solid.

    Rarely do I buy 12pks other than SN Pale or Celebration, but when I'm back at the ranch I happily grab Odell IPA 12pks.

    Thoughts of Head Hunter 12 packs has me damn near drooling.

    me too! Love head hunter.

    I haven’t seen Odell’s IPA around me in Southern Cal. Hopefully soon. I’ve only seen 90 schilling.

    There's no such thing as a 12 packs of craft beers here in Quebec. And the only one that uses this kind of package are Macrobrewery (Unibroue and Archibald). So, all the best beers comes in small package not more than a 6 packs but mostyly 4 pack.

    I saw the mention of Spotted Cow but was wondering if New Glarus does any 12 packs (either same beer or mixed packs). They always seem to be reasonably priced and high quality beers.
