When beer arrives on your grocery store’s shelves, you’ll have to get there early to buy any.
Grocery stores will reportedly face strict restrictions on how much beer they’re allowed to sell, according to a report in the Toronto Star.
The Star has learned that under the new rules, stores will only be allowed to sell six packs, not single cans. And, per day, stores will only be allowed to sell 279 of them.
As part of an agreement with the brewing industry, beer will be sold at 450 of Ontario’s 1,500 supermarkets by 2018.
While the province promised back in April that the first Ontario supermarkets would be selling beer by Christmas, finance minister Charles Sousa told the Star there are still some hurdles.
