Organic Brewering in Toronto

As much as we enjoy the bitter taste of an ice cold beer on a warm summer day, the environmental impact of beer making and drinking is not as enjoyable.

Beer is primarily made from barley and hops, which commercially involves the use of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and fossil-fuel derived fertilizers.The chemicals used to produce these grains pose threats to human health and ecosystems.

Organic beer offers a better alternative to environmentally conscious consumers.Brewing organic beer benefits the environment by enhancing soil fertility, conserves water and produces fewer greenhouse gases.

The Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto uses all natural ingredients, which consist of pure spring water, malted barley, hops and yeast, all GMO-free.

Steam Whistle Pilsner rolled off the line in March, 2000 using green glass bottles which are made with 30 per cent more glass. The green glass bottles are made sturdier for easy reuse. This allows for the same bottle to be washed, inspected and refilled up to 35 times.

The painted logo saves trees from becoming label paper and eliminates glue and dyes from contaminating the water drained from our bottle washer.
