WestJet expands partnership with Canadian brewery for in-flight service

Calgary-based WestJet has teamed up with beloved Calgary brewery Tool Shed as its exclusive beer provider, which will bring its most popular craft beers aboard as part of its buy-on-board food and beverage service for the next five years.

Effective July 15, People Skills blonde ale, Golden Hour hazy pale ale, and Local Legend light craft lager will be available for purchase on board, and a 15 percent discount on food and drinks will be offered at Tool Shed’s taproom if a boarding pass is shown within 24 hours of arrival/departure.

“Partnering with Tool Shed Brewing allows WestJet to bring a taste of Calgary to the skies. Their products support local hardworking farmers and businesses, which is something we hope our guests will be happy to get behind,” said Steve McClelland, WestJet’s Vice President of Loyalty and Partnerships. “Together, we are proving that small and large-sized businesses can leverage each other’s strengths to create partnerships that are meaningful to Canadians and bolster local economies.”

Tool Shed beer is made with malted grains from the Canadian prairies, which means the deal goes even further to support local Canadian farmers, so guests can truly feel good about buying Canadian on every flight.
