WestJet taps popular Canadian brewery for beer on its flights
WestJet is strengthening its Calgary roots, entering into a partnership with one of Calgary’s most beloved breweries.
The Calgary-based airline has teamed up with local brewery Toolshed to serve some of its most popular craft beers as part of its buy-on-board food and beverage service.
From July 15, three Toolshed brews – People Skills blonde ale, Golden Hour hazy pale ale, and Local Legend light craft lager – will be available on board.
Brewing true craft beer, Toolshed uses malted grains straight from the Canadian prairies, supporting farmers from the region in the process.
In addition to in-flight sips, WestJet guests will also receive a 15 per cent discount on food and drinks at Toolshed’s taproom if they show a boarding pass from 24 hours before departure or after arrival.
“Partnering with Tool Shed Brewing allows WestJet to bring a taste of Calgary to the skies. Their products support local hardworking farmers and businesses, which is something we hope our guests will be happy to get behind,” said Steve McClelland, WestJet’s vice president of loyalty and partnerships.
“Together, we are proving that small and large-sized businesses can leverage each other’s strengths to create partnerships that are meaningful to Canadians and bolster local economies.”
