History[edit | edit source]
The Beer Store was founded in 1927 as a response to the end of Prohibition in Canada. Initially, it was known as the Brewers Warehousing Company. The company was created to provide a controlled and regulated environment for the sale of beer, ensuring that the product was distributed responsibly and efficiently.
