Today may just be Tuesday for some of you, but for folks in Ontario, today is the day that beer will officially be allowed to be sold in grocery stores. Huzzah!
O, no big deal? O, it's a pretty big deal. The first shelved beer at Loblaws made "Loblaws" a trending topic. #Beer soon followed.
Now, bear in mind that sales have only rolled out in select stores, but even a taste of impending reality was enough of a buzz for all of the following to ensue:
