The beer was lavish and yummy (as much as you wanted). The tour was interesting, informative and fun (pull the steam whistle, watch the bottles going around). Tickets included a well packed gift to take home (glasses or openers). More

I would love to be able to host a specialized event here as the setting would be great. This pilsner is refreshing even on a winter day. I was so happy last week to find a restraunt in Edmonton last week carrying Steam Whistle! More

Having visited breweries all over the world, I felt there was no need to do a tour. Perhaps that was a mistake, but this place seems to be the sort of place that tourists visit because they have time to kill. One beer - you've got to be kidding. And a pilsner at that, which means it's pretty much the... More

We did this tour and had a great time! It's short enough not to bore you and full of interesting tidbits. Plus, you get a beer fresh off the line - this was likely the tastiest beer I've ever had! The tour was well priced considering you got a beer and a half with it, and the brewery is a... More
