Steam Whistle Brewery Tour Review
![steam whistle tour](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/steam-whistle-FB.png)
In the historic Railhouse Park and in the shadow of the CN Tower you will find the home of Toronto’s favourite premium Pilsner – Steam Whistle Brewing. Recognized from coast-to-coast for its green bottle and whistleblowing logo, Steam Whistle is a refreshing beer that I have come to enjoy and was eager to try it straight from the source. On my last visit to Toronto, I was lucky enough to do just that. Here is my Steam Whistle Brewery tour review .

![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3347-1024x768.jpg)
Tours of the Steam Whistle Brewery run every half hour between 11:30 AM and 5:00 PM, seven days a week. Tours cost just $10 and are best booked online and in advance. I found this out the hard way when I showed up to find all tours were booked up on the day of my visit. This is the one and only time I name dropped and pulled my business card. I’m not proud of it but am thankful it worked.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery Lounge](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3302-1024x768.jpg)
Tours begin with introductions in the grand Roundhouse Hall. There, tour guides hand out headsets and an ice cold Steam Whistle. The latter was a great touch. There’s nothing more refreshing than drinking a beer while learning about its origins and seeing where it is brewed.
![steam whistle tour Brewery Tour with the guide](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3287-1024x768.jpg)
Beer in hand and headset on, you are led through Steam Whistle’s brewing process. This takes you past the brewery floor, through the surprisingly small bottling area, and past the small head office. For such a seemingly large brand, Steam Whistle’s operation is this impressively small. This is because Steam Whistle Brewing only makes one beer. With a motto of “do one thing, really, really, well” I should have clued into this.

A Canadian Brand, A Canadian Story
![steam whistle tour Get an insider's view of Steam Whistle's brewing techniques](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3274-1024x768.jpg)
Like many success stories, Steam Whistle’s vision of making one really great Pilsner was born out of defeat. The three founders worked together at a popular brewery that was bought out by a big beer company and subsequently shut down. During a canoe trip in Ontario, the “three fired guys” hatched a plan to run a brewery of their very own.
How Canadian is that?
Since the spring of 2000 Steam Whistle has been doing just that – proudly becoming Canada’s premium Pilsner brand in the process.
What’s in a Name?
![steam whistle tour Uncover the history of Toronto's iconic brewery](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3233-1024x768.jpg)
Given the businesses fitting location in the historic John Street Roundhouse you would assume it’s name was derived from that. Not so. During the tour, our guide advised us that the name Steam Whistle came before the location. In reality, it pays homage to a simpler time where hard-working folks ended their hard day at the sound of a steam whistle blowing. The reward? Canada’s finest beer.
If that isn’t a story of most fitting location for a brand, I don’t know what is.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery Train](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3316-1024x768.jpg)
Although the location is fitting and incredibly convenient for tourists and for foot traffic, their hours are not. On my day visiting Steam Whistle I was going to a Blue Jays game at the SkyDome which is conveniently located next door. This makes it the perfect place for pregame beers right? No, or at least not on at an evening game. Steam Whistle closes its doors at 6:00 pm, which contradicts its end-of-the-day homage of a name.
Is this due to an outdated law or a sign that stranglehold the big beer companies have in Ontario? Maybe. A shame? Absolutely.
![steam whistle tour Take a journey through the heart of Steam Whistle Brewery](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3312-1024x768.jpg)
A T.O To-Do
Touring Steam Whistle ends at its bar with a sampling of unfiltered and unpasteurized beer straight from the tap. This is a great touch and shadows what you will find at the famous Pilsner Urquell brewery in the Czech Republic ( check out my review of that brewery here! ), home to the very first Pilsner. The similarity may not be a coincidence as Steam Whistle brewmaster just happens to be a Pilsner Urquell former employee.
This is just another example of how Steam Whistle is committed to doing it’s one thing, really, really well.
![steam whistle tour Tasting Steam Whistle Beer](https://www.thislifeintrips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_3271-1024x768.jpg)
Whether you are pre-gaming (an afternoon) Jays game or strolling the waterfront, touring Steam Whistle’s historic building and its brewery is a must do for beer lovers alike.

Steam Whistle Brewing
The Good Beer Folks would like to welcome you and your friends to come by the brewery for a tour and taste. Learn how Canada’s Premium Pilsner is made, meet our friendly staff and enjoy a sample of our beer. You’ll learn why Steam Whistle Brewery was designated one of Toronto’s ‘green buildings’ and about our railway history. Our tours will educate and entertain! Cheers!
Steam Whistle’s Founding Story
The Steam Whistle story begins in the spring of 1998 when three friends were on a canoe trip in the Ontario heartland. Greg Taylor, Cam Heaps and Greg Cromwell had all been colleagues at one of Canada’s premier microbreweries producing quality beer in the late 1980’s and 90’s – before it was bought out by a national brewer and closed down. As they sat around the campfire, the self-named “Three Fired Guys” dreamed of running their own brewery one day.
They wanted to make a Pilsner that would compete with the best in the world. They wrote a plan and quickly attracted investors with their vision and passion.
Steam Whistle – An Icon of the 50’s Era
Our Brewery is named Steam Whistle, drawing from the inspirational sounds of steam rushing from factory whistles, signalling the end of a fulfilling workday and a time for personal reward. Steam-powered whistles were icons of the 1950’s, a golden era of progress and prosperity, when things were built to last and people enjoyed the simple things in life. It was a time when the marketing of goods relied on a relationship of trust between manufacturers who produced quality goods and consumers who eagerly rewarded genuine results. Steam Whistle Brewery was founded on these forgotten principles.
Steam Whistle is one of the only remaining beers in the world that still adheres to the strict standards of the Bavarian Purity Act of 1516. We brew using only pure spring water, malted barley, hops and yeast. No corn syrup, no foam enhancers, no artificial preservatives.
To you, we offer the fruits of our labour. Let Steam Whistle be the reward at the end of your day!

![steam whistle tour The Constant Rambler.](https://www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Blogbanner.jpeg)
When visiting the city of Toronto there is one attraction that no beer lover should miss, the Steam Whistle Brewery. It’s unexpectedly located right in the center of downtown Toronto, in a squat unassuming historical brick building called The Roundhouse. Steam Whistle is a little brewery with a lofty goal; becoming the best (and number one) pilsner in Canada. We had the opportunity to take a tour of the Steam Whistle Brewery and we enjoyed it so much we decided to share it with the world.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery Tour Toronto 6](https://i0.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Steam-Whistle-Brewery-Tour-Toronto-6.jpg?resize=640%2C963&ssl=1)
As with many great things, the Steam Whistle Brewery came about in a most unexpected way with rather humble beginnings. The original three founders of Steam Whistle were actually fired from their prior job at the Upper Canada Brewing Company when it was taken over by a larger company. Being fed up and frustrated with macro breweries, they decided to start their own craft beer brewery. Still sore from being laid off the founders came up with a name for their company to remind themselves of their humble beginnings, Three Fired Guys. Once they had a name figured out, they needed a location. They found their new home by accident one day while visiting the historical Roundhouse in downtown Toronto.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whislte Brewery Tour](https://i0.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Steam-Whislte-Brewery-Tour.jpg?resize=640%2C425&ssl=1)
The building had been used for almost a century to repair and maintain steam locomotives, and was sitting empty and unused. Interestingly though, it still had functioning steam, and even housed an operational steam whistle. The founders fell in love with the idea of the steam whistle and how it signified the end of the workday. From there, the pieces fell together and the Steam Whistle Brewery was born.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Outside](https://i0.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Steam-Whistle-Outside.jpg?resize=640%2C425&ssl=1)
Now that they had a location, and a much more marketable name, the Three Fired Guys needed the one other major component of their plan, a great pilsner. To make that happen they went on a worldwide search for a brew master and found him in the Czech Republic, the birthplace of pilsners. He agreed to come to Toronto and brew beer for the TFG under two conditions. First, he would require a bedroom in the brewery. His reasoning on this was simple, if the beer never sleeps he shouldn’t either. Secondly, he would only use four ingredients. Even though a beer can use over 100 different ingredients and still be classified as a pilsner, he only wanted to use the original four: spring water, hops, malted barley and yeast.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery Tour Toronto 3](https://i2.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Steam-Whistle-Brewery-Tour-Toronto-3.jpg?resize=640%2C425&ssl=1)
You can take a tour of the Steam Whistle Brewery every day of the week at multiple intervals, or you can just walk in at any time and simply have a sample!
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery Tour Toronto 7](https://i1.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Steam-Whistle-Brewery-Tour-Toronto-7.jpg?resize=640%2C425&ssl=1)
If you take the tour, they bring you upstairs and treat you to a fresh full bottle of Steam Whistle on the house (in my opinion it’s how EVERY tour should begin :-) ). Then they take you through the brewery and fill you full of fun facts and information. All the while you get to see all the components of the beer production line.
![steam whistle tour Steam Whistle Brewery Tour Toronto 9](https://i1.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Steam-Whistle-Brewery-Tour-Toronto-9.jpg?resize=640%2C425&ssl=1)
But if you’re a beer lover like me, you’re not here to see hoppers and tanks; you’re here to try the beer! So how was it? I found Steam Whistle to be crisp, have a refreshing mouth feel, combine mild yet complex flavors, and overall be an easily drinkable pilsner. I’m typically not a pilsner drinker at all, and I found Steam Whistle to be very satisfying. This is the kind of beer you can drink all day at a summer BBQ or sip on at the end of a hard day’s work.
![steam whistle tour DSC00430](https://i1.wp.com/www.theconstantrambler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/DSC00430.jpg?resize=640%2C963&ssl=1)
It’s everything the founders intended when they set out to make one great beer. It’s no surprise that Steam Whistle is quickly growing out of their original space and distribution is quickly spreading across Canada. If you find yourself in or near the Toronto area, order up a bottle of Steam Whistle and take a sip. You’ll be glad you did. Then take a look at the bottle and you’ll find something interesting. Stamped into the glass in small print you’ll find TFG, a constant reminder of the founder’s humble beginnings.

Good times and great beer! Wish I would have had the chance to check this brewery out as well…
Derek, definitely good times! We’ll have to run into each other again soon.
I did the tour after TBEX with my boyfriend (a non-beer drinker) and loved it! I took almost all the same photos as you (I assure you I didn’t sneak up behind you while you were taking them lol) but I found the value to be totally worth it – at $10 per person, to have a fresh bottle straight from the bottling line, was awesome!
It was a great little tour and the beer was surprisingly good.
I am sure it is a wonderful tour for everybody that loves beer. Part of the fun when you travel is to taste new beers from all over the world. :)
I love visiting breweries but having been in Asia for the longest time it’s something I so rarely get to do anymore, maybe now we’re back in Europe for a short while we can visit a few more over the next few weeks.
Fingers crossed
What part of Europe are you in? I can think of a few countries that would have plenty of breweries :-)
Ahhh dear lord the nomminess of good beer :) Those shots are killing me!!!! Delicious for sure.

Steam Whistle Brewery Tour
Steam Whistle Brewery is located a stones throw from two of Toronto’s architectural icons: The Rogers Centre and CN Tower. I actually experienced the Steam Whistle tour years ago for my 19th birthday and was looking forward to refreshing and rejogging my memory.
A few weeks ago I had a friend visiting Toronto for the first time and thought the brewery tour would be a great way to showcase an interesting bit of Toronto’s history. Helen had arrived from Barcelona the previous afternoon and we spent that evening together checking out spectacular views of the city from the CN Tower.
The following afternoon we met at the brewery and spent the next hour or so on a tour which showcased the history of the building, the brewery and their brew. It wasn’t until we arrived that Helen advised me that she wasn’t a fan of beer. She did however come out of the experience with a new found appreciation and knowledge of the process. Helen’s experience is actually a great example of how a brewery tour, even for those who aren’t beer enthusiasts can be a highlight for any culinary itinerary.
Fun fact: The brewery only brews one beer, their Steam Whistle Pils. Also be sure to check out their Oktoberfest celebration in the Fall. They put on a seriously fun party!

I should start by saying both myself and Shawna have been on the tour numerous times before. Sometimes together, sometimes independently. Which is why these little piles of vouchers generally end up in the hands of our friends, particularly those from out of town.
A few days ago though, I decided to give one a try and give it a proper Boozehound walk through. The tour is a major tourist hotspot and some people might want to know what to expect before making the trek.
![steam whistle tour IMG_20150616_165136](https://s3.amazonaws.com/toboozehoundimages/wp-content/uploads/IMG_20150616_165136-222x300.jpg)
The first major change is that they use headsets now. Everyone on the tour puts in headphones and the tour guide wears a mic so we can all hear them without issue. This was a MAJOR improvement as in past tours I remember having a hard time hearing them.
The person who did this tour was quite new and it really showed. They were unaware of what a hops plan looked like an was unable to answer many questions we had. I can’t blame her too much as she was still pretty entertaining for a new person. And the information she did have she knew very well.
The tour consists of going through the general brewery and the process of how the beer is made, bottled and recycled.
![steam whistle tour IMG_20150616_164341](https://s3.amazonaws.com/toboozehoundimages/wp-content/uploads/IMG_20150616_164341-222x300.jpg)
Probably the most fun part of the tour is pulling the actual steam whistle itself. It is incredibly loud and is always fun.
This post is starting to get a tad long so I will close in saying that it’s a worthy visit. Not to mention the $10 entry price generally gets you a glass or bottle opener as a souvenir which is fun.

My experience at Steam Whistles was nothing short of exceptional. Their dedication to ensuring every aspect of my event was flawless truly made all the difference. Communication with the Steam Whistle team was crystal clear throughout the entire process, from initial inquiries to last-minute adjustments. This level of attentiveness eased any pre-event jitters and instilled confidence in their ability to execute flawlessly.”
Thank you so much to Loretta and the entire team at Steam Whistle! Our January wedding went off without a hitch thanks to their incredible team. The weekend truly would not have been the same without their help, and without a venue so incredibly perfect for what we wanted to achieve creatively that it’s almost like it was made for us!
We all had a great time and the feedback we are getting from all of our guests is nothing but positive! The venue, the atmosphere, food and drink were all on point…
We enjoyed Steam Whistle very much. The entire process from site-visit to event day was very seamless working with you guys. I have recommended Steam Whistle as a venue several times since Connect and I’ll continue to do so – Mae Thompson, Three to Be
Our event was a huge success and we had so many compliments on the venue, location and food. I will definitely recommend this to others.
The professionalism, courtesy and kindness displayed by not only the Steam Whistle team but by the vendors they work with speaks volumes to me. 10/10 would party there again.

Greg Taylor, Cam Heaps and Greg Cromwell had all been colleagues at one of Canada's premier microbreweries producing quality beer in the late 1980's and 90's - before it was bought out by a national brewer and closed down.
