Moosehead Breweries is now the beer partner of Porter Airlines. The Canadian-owned and operated brewery has products available on all Porter flights, as of Dec. 3, 2024.

Passengers are 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 Wi-Fi 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 began 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 one of the last major breweries 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.

“Porter continues to align our brand with premium Canadian partners that are passionate about their craft and have strong community relationships. Moosehead has a remarkable history and quality products that are now shared with our passengers as a part of Porter’s signature onboard service,” said Julian Low, vice president, commercial services at Porter Airlines

“The Moosehead team is incredibly excited about working with Porter to put our beer into the hands of hardworking Canadians on every flight – whether they’re travelling on business or rewarding themselves with a well-earned vacation. Since its inception, Porter has redefined hospitality in the airline industry – and we’re proud to be playing a role in delivering that elevated experience to passengers,” said Trevor Grant, vice president of marketing and sales at Moosehead Breweries.
