The Beer Store is the largest beer retailer in Ontario listing 1,107 brands, which more than 267 brewers provided in 2023. The Beer Store distributed 2.9 million hectoliters of beer in 2023.
A hectoliter (100 liters) is a rather obscure unit of measurement, mainly used to measure volumes of beer, wine, and grain.
An Olympic-sized swimming pool, which is at a minimum size of 50 meters long by 25 m wide X at least 2m deep, contains a minimum of 2.5 million litres.
In perspective, the Beer Store delivered the equivalent of 116 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
