I've never seen liquor stores like this before and wonder if it is still like that in New Brunswick.

That's like a lot of beer stores in Ontario. There are some where you can actually pick your own case but most have you telling the guy at the cash what you want and then rolling it up from the back.
I hated this system when I was up at the cottage last summer. The nearby Beer Store was out of a whole lot of brands but they didn't take down the bottles on the display wall they were out of.

Anybody know why they do (did?) this or the reasons behind it?

I'd guess that it's due to a couple of reasons. Maybe people don't like standing in a line carrying multiple cases of beer. Or they find it is easier to keep a smaller area where they keep the beer refridgerated. Also, they don't have to worry about people dropping cases of beer in the store.
