two-four

Standard framing timber

A two-four is Canadian slang for a case of twenty-four beers: We picked up a two-four for the cottage weekend.

The term reflects how beer is commonly sold in Canada, and it's strongly associated with casual drinking culture, especially around holidays like Victoria Day (the "May two-four weekend").
