Question:
A "Case of Beer" has this many bottles:
Option 1: 6 Beer
votes: 1
Option 2: 12 Beer
votes: 7
Option 3: 24 Beer
votes: 22
Option 4: Other
votes: 3
Seeing the old pop / soda debate reminded me of this old Canadian argument, usually between people from the West vs East. In the West (well BC anyways not sure where Alberta, Sask or Manitoba fall in the debate) we've always said a "case of beer" is 12 beer. A container of 24 beer we call a "flat" or a "two-four". In Ontario they say a "case of beer" is 24 beer...
Just how many bottles of beer actually come in a "case of beer"?
Technically I think it's 24 across the board. But IMO it's okay to call a 12-pack of bottles a case. 24 bottles is a pain in the ass to lug around. For cans it always has to be 24.
24 in the civilized world. I can't see myself killing VC for 12 beers.
The prairie vote is in, PRC.
A case is always 12 beer.
A "two-four" is what you call 24 beer. A "flat" of beer is acceptable if it is in cans.
A case is 24. A 12-pack is a 12-pack.

Every person knows this to be true. Anyone who thinks otherwise has been sitting in a nuclear plant for too long.
Sounds like you canuckleheads are being cheated of half your beer. My sympathies.

You couldnt pay me to drink an extra 12 bottles of the watered down stuff most Americans refer to as beer.

The most common sizes for beer cases are either 20 .5 liter bottles or 24 .33 liter bottles, but there are several other cases: http://www.systempack.de/flaschenkaesten.html
Thats not a case. That is a crate.
They say case for 24 beers in the East? You sure about that? I always remember a 24 pack being a two-four back in Ottawa.

You're a couple decades behind the times on that front. We sold our shitty beer companies to the Belgians and started over.

I grant you there are some excellent micro breweries in the US. But all I see on US stations are Bud and Millar commercials so I condemn you for that.

Actually, it's a "kasse".
24 in a case. 12 beers is a 12-pack or a half-rack.

Fine. We'll keep the good stuff to ourselves.
Speaking of which, I have a sampler pack of New Belgium at home calling my name...
I can't tell much difference between US mega-brews and Canadian mega-brews.

I think most varieties of Molson tend to have a bit more taste than Miller or Bud. AFAIK Molson never made much use of adjuncts (corn & rice, which lighten & slightly sweeten the flavor) like our mega-brews do.
One difference with Molson Golden and especially Moosehead is skunkiness. Lose the green bottles, Canucks.

Yeah. Light green bottles for beer is an abomination.
The dark green ones work as well as the brown ones, AFAIK, but you don't see those used much in North America.
As someone who works at a brewery: 24.

One major difference is alcohol content - the reason we refer to Bud as water.

Some day you'll leave the 20th century and realize that there is a ton of American beer these days that isn't Bud, Coors, or Miller. Hell, all three of those companies aren't even American owned anymore. Canada had the lead in terms of quality beer for a while. Alas, your country seems to have fell asleep while resting on it's laurels and has fallen behind by a wide margin these days. I hope they wake up and keep up like Unibroue and others are doing, as I love having more options for quality beer. To base your whole argument of why American beer is terrible and weak on the basis of Bud, Coors, and Miller though is working off of a false premise.
I gotta go with the Americans on this one. They've got some fine beer.
And mega-brew lager is mega-brew lager no matter where it's made... the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa... whatever.

Case of beer is usually 24 beers. Otherwise, it's a 12 pack or 6-pack.

:yes:
12-packs can also be called half-cases, short-cases, or half-racks though that is usually by the kids.

Concur, and 30 is a 30-rack.
Like the other Canadians I'm used to "case = 12 pack", "two-four" or "flat" = 24; but frankly I don't give a fuck what you call the packaging as long as I get my beer.
The Yi is wise in matters of beer.

I actually dislike the usage of microbreweries for a lot of the top dogs out there these days. For the amount of product they produce and the distribution they receive, anything micro in their title seems silly. Granted they still fall short of the macros, but they are far from being small, localized breweries. Also, I did give the name of one of my favorite Canadian craft breweries in my post Beeb. :Canuck:

Unibroue is awesome. Possibly my favorite craft brewery. But apart from that, it's all Moosehead, Molson, and Labatt's down here. I'd love to find some others.

"Microbrewery" is a lazy way of saying craft brewery these days. Some people don't know the difference, but I gave up on getting worked up about it a long time ago.
24 cans
I've never encountered a case of beer.
In Holland they have crates with 24 iirc and in the UK are variable size boxes.
Nothing as iconic as a six pack of cans.

Except in Asia it doubles as formaldehyde. And there are no good microbrews.
A case is 15 bottles, if .66 litres bottles; 24 bottles, if .33 litres bottles or cans.
The first case is 10 litres, the second is 7.92 litres. Obviously, the .66 bottle case is best.
If this is the case.
L.
24, usually 0.5l bottles or cans. Next lower size is the sixpack.
Eventually, none.
