Pretty great for travelers on Delta. Wish Canada's airlines did the same.

Well, Porter does offer Steamwhistle. Better than Skydome! But, yes, not as good as Delta. One of these days...
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.

Air Canada will likely never do this.
they still serve non-Canadian wine on their flight.

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.

Horizon Air offers some decent stuff, and it changes all the time...

Once they opened a bomber and nobody else requested it, so they asked if I'd like to finish it!
