Question about beer
How much beer comes in a case? I'm having a party with about 50-60 people, how much beer should I buy then?
I'm totally clueless...I'm not a beer drinker...

Re: Question about beer
I think a case is an 18 pack. Are these people big beer drinkers or not really?
ETA - I just saw Lisa's post - I guess I am clueless about beer too!

Re: Question about beer
If your having that many people, I would look into renting a keg. It might actually be cheaper.

Re: Question about beer
Yes, some of them are. Do you think there's anything else I should buy?

Re: Question about beer
It depends. Are you having more of a casual bbq? If so I would stick to the beer. Maybe get a few bottles of wine for the people who dont' drink beer.
If they are pretty big beer drinkers than I would get about 4 cases- and worst case scenario if you run out someone can go get more.

Yes, it's a casual BBQ at Eisenhower Park. I guess wine would be a great idea.

Re: Question about beer
24 beers in a case.
I would probably purchase 5 cases and some bottles of wine.

Re: Question about beer
I would get about 5 cases of beer and then some packs of Mike's Hard Lemonade or Mike's Hard Iced Tea, etc. for the non-beer drinkers.

Re: Question about beer
You can find a case on sale anywhere from 13-18 dollars I think.

Re: Question about beer
Are you allowed to serve alcohol at Eisenhower park? We have a school picnic there and we have to tell parents no alcohol.

Depends on the type of beer. Is your DH or friends picky? Mine is. We usually get some assorted packs for our summer bbqs (at BJs or Costco), but if they aren't picky you can get away with Bud, Bud Light, etc and spend less.

Re: Question about beer
For that many people I would look into kegs or beer balls - a regular beer & light beer. (Bud & coors lite, bud light or mich ultra) then maybe a couple of cases of other beers like heinekin, sam adams, yeungling, corona, etc. (pardon the spelling)
But then most of my friends are beer drinkers - we could knock out a couple of cases with a much smaller guest list on a long hot day - so I have a tendency to go overboard.

Re: Question about beer
You can't get kegs or beer balls for the park.
I would get some Light beer - Coors Light or Bud Light. Then I would get Sam Adams or Yeungling.

Re: Question about beer
I would do a few cases of beer...maybe 3 (not everyone drinks) and two boxes of wine (I know, not the best, but it works for big crowds). If anyone else wants something, they can bring it themselves

Re: Question about beer
I would do a few cases too. There is a 7-11 not too far away if you need to send someone on a beer run.
