Steam Whistle Brewery
Inside the John St. Roundhouse
One of the first businesses to see the potential of the former John St. Roundhouse in downtown Toronto was the Steam Whistle Brewery who moved into a few stalls in 1999 (I think). They have been there since producing a very good beer, Steam Whistle Pilsner. During public events they like to give a away free beer.
Free beer, now that is just civilized!
Here I am getting my free beer. I am the one on the right.
They give you a voucher when you come in for a free beer, but if you are clever, a second free beer can be had.
During last week’s Doors Open Toronto, they had a few local groups set up some layouts in the brewery. I think they got more free beer than the rest of us, but I’m not sure.
This gentlemen fit the decor quite nicely. I wasn’t sure if he was real or not as he didn’t move much (maybe the free beer). I went over and poked him. He was real.
This one was real too, but I didn’t poke him.

You’re the one on the right! Geese, I was all set to get more stuff until you mentioned that. Did you ‘poke at’ the one on the left? 8-;
(Nice shots – great place to hold a display layout)!

“Did you ‘poke at’ the one on the left? 8-;”
I don’t think she would put up with a poke from me…
Rumor has it the guys displaying layouts got all the free beer they wanted.
I am totally bringing my layout there next year.
I’d gladly pay for a beer from her.
But what’s with her superfluous third hand?
Hey, you’re right, that girl has three hands. Probably come in real handy for tending the taps….
