The Beer Store, Mill Street, Toronto

Brewers Retail Inc., operating under the name of The Beer Store, is a privately owned chain of retail establishments in Ontario, where beer and other malt beverages are sold. The company was established in 1927 following the end of prohibition in the province. Despite the failure of prohibition, the provincial government aimed to appease temperance advocates by implementing a system where beer would be exclusively sold through a unified network of stores. Consequently, the government granted permission for brewers to establish the Brewers Warehousing Company Ltd., which later evolved into Brewers Retail/The Beer Store.

In comparison to typical Beer Store outlets found across the country, The Beer Boutique on Mill Street offers a more customer-friendly layout. It specializes in smaller package sizes, catering to the needs of downtown residents who are more inclined to travel by foot or public transit, making their shopping experience more convenient.
