Moosehead Breweries Gets on Board With Porter Airlines

Two iconic Canadian brands announce new in-flight partnership

TORONTO & SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moosehead Breweries is now the beer partner of Porter Airlines. The Canadian-owned and operated brewery will have products available on all Porter flights, beginning this week.

Passengers will be able to enjoy Moosehead Breweries’ flagship beers; Moosehead Canadian Lager, and their premium ultra-light lager, Cracked Canoe, free of charge as part of the airline’s signature service.

Porter elevates the economy travel experience for all passengers across North America with its award-winning onboard service, including complimentary wine and beer served in glassware, premium snacks, plus free, fast WiFi on Embraer E195-E2 routes. The airline is rapidly expanding its North American network, serving every province in Canada and 16 destinations in the U.S.

The Moosehead story begins in 1867, the year of Canadian Confederation, when Susannah Oland began brewing her October Brown Ale in her family’s backyard. The brewery has remained in the family ever since, and six generations of Olands have grown the company into one of Canada’s leading brewers. Moosehead is now the last major brewery in the country still owned by Canadians, and Susannah’s great-great-great grandsons, Andrew Oland, President and CEO, and Patrick Oland, CFO, are continuing her legacy.
