Beerboss.ca is a tool to make buying beer from The Beer Store easier. Since alcohol sales are regulated by the government in Ontario, there are very few options when buying beer. The official Beer Store website does not give you the information needed to make educated choices when buying beer.
Beer Boss can help you find the cheapest beers in Ontario without the hassle of searching through hundreds of beers on the Beer Store website manually. If you already have a particular beer in mind, Beer Boss can easily determine the cheapest package size to buy.
Beer Boss can even factor in the bottle deposits into the calculations to ensure you are getting the best price.
A python script scrapes every product on The Beer Store website and uploads it to a MySQL database. The website reads this data and displays it for the user. Currently, the python script is not included in the repository.
To run the site locally for development, install Docker and run
