Hop Aboard! Steam Whistle Available On Via Rail's - The Canadian

After working their magic to get their flagship Pilsner on board all Porter flights back in 2009, Toronto's Steam Whistle Brewery has landed another great account in Via Rail's, The Canadian, which incidentally, ties in perfectly to the heritage of the Roundhouse that the brewery calls home.

The train, which carries passagers between Toronto and Vancouver over a four day journey, has started carrying Steam Whistle's recently released 355ml cans for the sleeper and coach class sections of the train.

In a press release issued by the brewery, co-founder Greg Taylor had this to say about the recent news. "“My young family took a trip of a lifetime aboard the Canadian. It was an incredible way to see this amazing country of ours, and the gourmet dining on the train was definitely a highlight. As soon as we got home, Steam Whistle contacted VIA Rail to see about adding our Pilsner to their lineup of regional beverages. I’m really proud that our Canadian-made Premium Pilsner will be served aboard this national showpiece.”

Seeing the beautiful landscape of our country from the comfort of a train with a can of craft beer in your hands isn't a bad way to spend some time!
