"Two-four" hasn't made its way out west because we call it a case of beer, and we already have "two-six", which is a 26oz bottle of liquor.

In Ontario "two-six" is called a twixer

"Twixer" must be relatively new, or more specific regionalism. I've only known them to be called "twenty-sixers"

Same here. Also, 13 oz is a 'mickey', and the 3L is a "Texas mickey". (I noticed I did ounces and litres)
