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

Last 24 that I hadn't bought to split was probably Smashbomb a couple summers back on my way up to the farm.

Grabbed a case each of the Popperinge Hommelbier and Prior this winter that were for split orders (still have a 6 of Prior for someone who has never got back to me about it, and I've forgot who it was to go to)

Black Oak Summer Saison last summer

I've bought multiple six packs, especially direct from breweries I guess (such as 24 B.O. Summer Saison a few summers ago) but I think the question was meant to be an actual 2-4 from TBS (i.e. one unit of 24 beer). On that basis, at least 10 years ago if not longer.

Black Oak Nutcracker, though that was really four six packs.

The only real 2-4 I've ever bought was of Moosehead way back in 2001 or 2002. 'Cause the chick I was seeing at the time liked it. That relationship didn't last long and I was stuck with a lot of Moosehead. Moron! I think I eventually got rid of it when I would take some bottles to parties for others to drink.

Given that I like beer variety I don't tend to buy a lot of any one beer much anymore.

Central City Red Racer last summer for camping season.

Haven't decided what this year will be.

About a month ago, 24 pack of Orval.

Cool to hear, this is kind of what I suspected.
I love how most 24s being bought are from the US / foreign beers, or purchased locally to appease others...

^ usually it's supply issue so yes 24's of Orval, Peche Mortel, Aphrodite, DFH 60 minute, Saison Dupont, Chimay Bleue, Westmalle, Rochefort, Black Irish Porter, Thomas Hardy ale.

When I travel stateside I might grab a 12 each of Stone beers like IPA and Ruinaton. I don't get tired of certain beers!

At TBS, I assume? Beside the Mickey's?

I've had multiple 6-packs of Amsterdam Spring Bock and Black Oak Nutcracker... but the last honest, single box of 24 was probably Rochefort 10 from Espirit around 2007.

I generally brew beer in bulk, but buy more variety.

In the last few years, the only true 24s that I've purchased have been Molson Stock Ale. Hey, I like it! Last one was about 10 months ago.

A couple years ago I bought 36 cans of Lech, but most of that was to give away.

Believe it or not, quite often. When I buy St Ambroise Oatmeal Stout or Apricot from TBS, I always buy by the case as it's much cheaper than 6 packs each time. A few months ago, I bought a 24 of Upper Canada Lager to have in the fridge for "company"

I think it was a case of Hopslam that I bought back in January 2012.

Bought a 24 (cans) of Yuengling last time I was in the States. Also a 24 of Red Racer the first time it was at the LCBO, but that was split between a bunch of us at the brewery. As for the TBS, it's been too many years to remember.

I can't remember ever buying a two-four but I buy 12 packs fairly frequently. Dieu du Ciel has their mixed packs that I get pretty regularly. Mixed 12 packs seem common amongst US microbreweries as well. I got a Brooklyn one time I was down there.
