Was the caller asking about beer referring to buying beer in Ontario before September of last year? If so, the only place you could buy it was provincially run stores call The Beer Store. When I went to college in Buffalo it was called Brewers Retail, and we'd smuggle Molson Brador packs of two-four back to the states, at the time far better than any US beer. Now it can bought at most stores.
