the typical measure is:

1 case = 24 bottles
half case = 12 bottles (called a half-sack in BC)
poverty-pack = 6 bottles (ok, officially called a 6-pack)

Some brewers have odd sizes. Cameron Brewery in Toronto has 9-packs, some corporate-brews have 4 extra bottles (eg 28) but since I don't buy corp-brew, I only know this from advertizing. And I know that Guiness sells 4-packs & singles.

as for strength, what Feelgood said. It is a myth that American beer is weeker. Maybe the taste isn't as hoppy or strong, but the alcohol content is pertty well equal.
