Over the past year there’s been a major uproar over beer prices in the country and particularly the price differences between Ontario and Quebec. So we decided to go country-wide and see really where the cheapest beer comes from. Pricing a 12 pack of 341 ml bottles of Molson Canadian ensured a fair comparison.
Here are the results, from highest to lowest.

12 bottles = $34.32
Northwest Territories (Yellowknife Liquor Store)
12 bottles = $28.65
