Sybil Taylor is a apart of the marketing communications team for the Steam Whistle Brewery and lives to share its encouraging story.
Built from the ground up, the Steam Whistle Brewery is located in the downtown Toronto area. The story starts with the creators of this dynamite brewery working for another beer related company before being laid off with nearly one hundred other workers. After much deliberation and true grit, the Steam Whistle brewery was born. Unlike other breweries that work as a place for just beer, Steam Whistle promotes a sense of community and relaxation for those just getting off of work.
This brilliant brewery is more than just a home for a frothy beverage. It's a sanctuary for good laughs, unwinding and great beer.
