Two-Four

A 2-4 or a Two Four in Canada is a large case of beer because a large case of beer is 24 bottles.

The first long weekend of the summer can also be called the 2-4 Weekend because the traditionally named Victoria Day weekend is a time for opening the summer cottage and getting the boat in the water. It is also the start of fishing season in a lot of lakes. Both activities require at least 1 2-4 for each male participant.

Let's grap a couple of two-fours and head out to the cottage to get in a little fishing on the Two-Four Weekend coming up.

May Two-Four

Queen Victoria's birth day, May 24th, is a statutory holiday in Canada and the first long weekend since Easter. It is the traditional weekend during which one opens 'the camp' (cottage), and signifies the start of summer (and Blackfly season) in Canada. The reference to 'two-four' rather than 'twenty-fourth' is a Canadian inside joke refering to the obligatory case(s) of 24 bottles of beer, or 'two-fours' required to celebrate the opening of the camp and to steel one's courage against the blackflies and the mice that will have settled into the camp since it was closed in the fall.

"Did ya go to the Beer Store and get a couple of two-fours for camp? It's May two-four, eh, and there'll be a lineup!"
