The Beer Store

Established in 1927, The Beer Store is proud to serve our customers across the province. With over 800 brands from 190 brewers around the world, there’s always something new to discover at The Beer Store. The Beer Store is an entirely open system that allows any brewer in the world to sell its brands in any Beer Store location it chooses. We sell with integrity and are deeply committed to responsible sale by not selling to minors and people who are intoxicated. In 2018, 2.9 million customers were challenged to confirm their age or sobriety. The company is also one of the greenest retailers in the world collecting over 1.4 billion beer containers (an 87 per cent return rate) and 395 million wine and spirit containers (an 81 per cent return rate) in 2018. The Company is owned by 31 Ontario-based brewers and employs over 7,000 hard-working Canadians and Ontarians with well-paying full and part-time jobs. Brewers Distributor Ltd. (BDL) is a private joint venture company owned by Labatt Breweries of Canada and Molson Breweries for the wholesale distribution of beer and the collection of returnable, refillable and recyclable beer containers within the four Western Canadian Provinces, as well as Northwest Territories and the Yukon. The overall goal of the distribution alliance between the shareholder companies in Western Canada is to maximize cost and service performance within the two distinct business processes – wholesale distribution of beer, and the collection of returnable, recyclable beer containers. BDL operates nine distribution centers and four cross dock facilities in the Western provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia). These facilities serve licensed customers throughout the West and the northern Territories.
