When was the last time you bought a 2-4?

[El Pinguino]

The big bottle = wine chat had me thinking about the last time I bought a 12-pack or case of beer.

I'm sure most people; here have bought a 24 case more recently than me, but I'm curiosu to hear!

My last 24 was bought around 6 years ago.

The only reason I bought it was because I had a volleyball game to go to and forgot to bring a t-shirt. So I went in to The Beer Store and bought some crappy beer that came with a free shirt.

Prima Pils about three years ago. Even then I think it was only because a 2-4 was the minimum for shipping to my local LCBO. Other than that I'm not sure I've ever bought a 2-4.

As for 12 packs I've bought both Sleeman IPA and a Mcauslan mixed pack within the last couple of years.

I prefer regular variety and since I don't store beer for more than a few weeks that means six packs plus lots of singles.

When I was underage in high school and went over to Quebec for the cheapest I could find (seem to remember that being Molson Ex).

I'm actually not sure I've ever bought a 12 pack of anything. Many different 6 packs at one time, but never a full 12 of the same beer.

Last time I bought a 24 was about a month ago when I picked up a case of Nugget Nectar. Whenever I go to 3F I end up bringing back multiple 24's.

[SteelbackGuy]

Almost never, probably the last time was when I was moving and had to get some swilling beer for the people helping me.

I try to keep a case of Sleeman Original Draught in the house for people that refuse to try homebrew. It's cheap.

[groulxsome]

In the last two years I can only think of two 12-packs that I've bought (Stonehammer Maple Red and St. Ambroise Blonde). It's hard to commit to a beer in very large volumes, especially with homebrew stocks.

If Newfoundland sold 24's back when I was in living there my house would have been full of 24s of 1892. Now, with the selection here, there is very little reason to be a one-beer drinker.

[grub]

about the only thing I pick up 24's of is canuck, boneshaker, and mad tom. particularly in the summer. aside from that, not something I do very often.

[Gedge]

Only recent 12-packs for me would be the Muskoka Survival Pack and a Sam Adams Hopology 12 I picked up in MA last summer. If TBS still carried the Unibroue mixer 12 I'd buy that from time to time.

A 24? Geez, maybe 10, 15 years ago. Probably Labatt 50.

[JeffPorter]

I got 24 RPAs when it came back.

Mind you it was 4 six packs that they just repackaged in a box for me.

The last closed 12 pack I guess I bought (from TBS) was during the spring/summer when Muskoka released the survival pack. I may buy that pack again if they do another one off beer.

I've never bought a 2-4

[Cale]

Over the past year: Two cases of Lag Sucks more recently. Maybe a half dozen cases of the first batch of RPA. One or two cases of Red Racer.

It's a recent development. Not something I would normally do, but the GF will only drink big hoppy *PAs lately, and she's very particular about them. Now that the weather is warmer and I am brewing again, cases are much more unlikely. Unless a new batch of Sucks comes out..

Last "true" 12-pack was way too long ago, have no idea. Have almost bought the SN Beer Camp pack a few times but that's the closest I've come in a while.

[sprague11]

I bought 24 cans of Surly Furious when I was in Minnesota a couple years back. (thoug that was 6 sets of 4).

[Torontoblue]

Never bought a 24 in my life, and the last 12 pack I bought was the Phillips Hop Box last year. 4 packs, 6 packs or singles for me.

[Kish84]

The last 24 I bought was Zombie Dust just over a year ago. The last one I remember before that was 24 cans of Red Racer when it first showed up here.
