Enter Steamwhistle, started by rich trust fund kids with daddy's money from the Sleeman buyout. Your typical by-the-bootstraps Toronto Canadian success story of someone giving junior and his friends many metric shit-ton of money and then aquiring highly valuable *highly valuable* CP rail property in Toronto, by the lake, and actually owned by the city to make their tard swill. With daddy's expertise and daddy's connections.
I don't mind Steamwhistle, but agree it's overmarketed, overpriced generic swill much like Moosehead and their recent "Donald Trump 4 year flat".
It's been a long time now, but I recall going on the Steamwhistle tour.
The "highlight" at the end was that they gave out samples of their product.
Except they only brew one product, the stuff that's available everywhere.
So their big innovation in-house was that they had a tap that you could drink their one product, but unfiltered.
So now you could drink hazy generic swill instead of clear.
