Steam Whistle Brewing introduces "Last Spike" bottle opener
Steam Whistle Brewing is honouring Canada�s rail heritage with �The Last Spike�-inspired 10th anniversary in-case opener. It will be available in both six and twelve packs of Steam Whistle Pilsner starting September 15.
�We wanted to do something special for our 10th year adding openers to our cases, so we went back to the brewery�s roots and explored the link to Canada�s rail history,� explained Greg Taylor, Co-founder of Steam Whistle Brewing. �The Last Spike is a symbol of unity and hard work and we cherish those values at Steam Whistle.�
Designed in the shape of a rail spike, the 2014 opener pays homage to �The Last Spike� of the Canadian Pacific Railway, driven at Craigellachie, B.C. on November 7, 1885.
For Steam Whistle, Canada�s rail story has special significance. The Brewery itself is located in the John Street Roundhouse just south of the CN Tower and Union Station. The Roundhouse opened in 1929 as a CP Rail repair facility.
�This is the tenth year we�ve included our retro openers in cases. Folks have shown us so much love and we look forward to rewarding them with this token of our appreciation,� said Cameron Heaps, fellow co-founder of the brewery. �We think we really hit the nail on the head with this one,� he joked.
Steam Whistle packages Premium Pilsner in non-twist bottles because of the superior seal that the bottle cap provides. While this non-twist bottle helps keep Steam Whistle Pilsner fresh, it might add some inconvenience to people who don't own a traditional bottle opener. To answer this need, Steam Whistle launched the free retro opener feature back in 2005 and has continued to release a new design each year. Learn more at: www.steamwhistle.ca/opener.
Steam Whistle won the 2012 Gold Medal winner at the Canadian Brewing Awards. To learn more about the brewery, visit www.steamwhistle.ca
