Liquor Control Board of Ontario

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is a Crown corporation established in 1927 by Premier Howard Ferguson to sell liquor, wine, and beer in Ontario through a chain of retail stores. LCBO stores are the only stores allowed to sell liquor in Ontario. Beer is also sold by the privately owned The Beer Store chain and by brewery outlets, and wine is also sold by a small number of stores operated by wineries to sell their own brands. Licensed bars and restaurants can also sell alcoholic beverages, but they must be consumed on their premises. The bars and restaurants themselves must buy their drinks from the LCBO helping to make it the world's largest purchaser of liquor and spirits.
