TORONTO, ON – Porter Airlines announced this week that they have started serving Steam Whistle Pilsner on all of their flights as part of the complimentary onboard menu.
Porter is one of the few airlines to still offer free in-flight food and drink, and this partnership marks the first time they have featured beer from a local brewery.
Somewhat fittingly, Steam Whistle Brewery is located less than two kilometres from the Toronto City Centre Airport, which is Porter’s base of operations.

- Greg C. is drinking a Wakaranai 4 Mixed Fermentation Lager w/ Sour Cherries by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyWell constructed lager with mild funkiness and subtle cherry notes. I was skeptical about this one but it all works well together.
- Greg C. is drinking an Umi Gose w/ Okinawan Shikuwasa & Sea Salt by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyAvoids the “super salty & sharply sour” trend seen in most modern takes on the style in flavour of subtlety and elegance.
- Greg C. is drinking an Otsukaresama Dortmunder by Godspeed Brewery at PharmacyUnfiltered version at tap takeover. Not as bright & lively as regular version but more depth to the flavour. And still excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
That’s great new mabay othere airline should take note and bring back better customer service
