Frequently Asked Questions

What beers do you brew?

We proudly brew our signature Steam Whistle Pilsner, a classic Czech-style lager known for its crisp finish and golden hue. We do one thing, really, really well!

Where can I buy Steam Whistle beer?

You can find Steam Whistle at the LCBO, The Beer Store, select grocery stores and convenience stores. Find pints available at bars and restaurants across Canada.

Are your beers available outside of Ontario?

Yes! While we’re proudly brewed in Toronto, you can find us in various provinces across Canada.

Is Steam Whistle beer vegan and/or gluten-free?

Our beers are vegan-friendly, we don’t use any animal products in brewing or filtration. However, they are not gluten-free as they are brewed with traditional barley and hops.

What ingredients do you use in your beer?

We brew using only four all-natural ingredients: pure spring water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. Yep – that’s it.

How should I store and serve your beer?

Keep your beer refrigerated and out of direct sunlight. We recommend serving our Pilsner between 4–7°C in a clean, chilled glass.

We are currently focused on brewing our quality alcoholic Pilsner, but we are always exploring new ideas! However, at our Roundhouse Taproom and Kitchen, we have plenty of non-alcoholic options for all.

We are located in downtown Toronto at the historic Roundhouse Park – just south of the CN Tower at 255 Bremner Blvd.
