Canadian Brewery to Donate Beer to Compatriots in Afghanistan

December 2, 2006 By Jay Brooks

The Steam Whistle Brewery, of Toronto, Canada, has announced its employees have decided to send a week’s worth of their beer rations, an employee benefit, to Candian soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. The company has stated that they’ll match the employee donations. According to the The Canadian Press, “troops are allowed to have liquor on the base three times during the year, including Christmas,” even though as a Muslim nation beer is hard to come by.
 

Canadian troops will receive limited edition Steam Whistle pilsner holiday twelve-packs like the one pictured here.
