Nothing like ordering a Steamwhistle at 7am on a flight to NYC!
Or having three on the awful two stop over flight to Newfoundland. 7:30 AM flight to Ottawa, one Steamwhistle. Then a 9 AM flight to Halifax, one Steamwhistle. Then a 10:30 flight to St. John's, one more Steamwhistle. Then you're properly ready for lunch!

Well... At least that'll help pass the time and put you in a good mood for lunch.
That's better than the stopover in Vancouver on the way to Taiwan via Air Canada. Did that twice but no more with non-stop EVA. I nearly lost my shit when everything save for a Subway shut down at Vancouver airport at 8pm PST. REALLY?! Four hours of absolutely nothing to do. Fuck you Vancouver airport!

Way to go, Delta! I have been fortunate enough to have several Sweetwaters on flights to the under-serviced FL Panhandle (through ATL of course) ... stealthily good! Recommend the 420 Pale Ale and the IPA.
Don't get me wrong, I love Steam Whistle for free on Porter. Would be nice if they amped up the selection in the lounge, seeing as you have to pay there.
With AC & WJ, I would actually consider spending money for a quality beer product. Right now it isn't even a consideration. That's money left on the table with an increasingly high # of consumers.
