The materials we use to package our products, and then how they are ultimately disposed of have an impact on the natural world. It’s easier to prevent waste when you make doing the right thing affordable and easy.
Working with local farmers, helps us support local economies and reduces our carbon footprint.
Breweries draw on local water and power - there is no way around this. Small-batch brewing allows us to test new beers without being wasteful.
Transportation emissions add up. The more disconnected a supply chain, the bigger the footprint. Thinking local first can reduce emissions.

Tin Whistle is a member of the Climate Smart Initiative. A group of Canadian businesses working to measure and reduce their carbon footprints. We continually measure and benchmark our small brewery against the best out there, and we are happy to announce we now have a carbon-neutral brewhouse! No matter your size, we believe you can be sustainable and responsible as a business.
Tin Whistle has been in Penticton for many years. It is our joy and pleasure to support those around us and help our community grow. TW donates 5 cents of every can to a local charitable partner.
We also source our ingredients locally (whenever possible). This includes chocolate from Accent Cafe in Penticton, oats from True Grain in Summerland, BC, honey from Cawston BC, and our fruits from neighbouring BC farms.
Tin Whistle is moving towards making some of its beer certified organic. Organically produced products prevent pesticides from entering the world and helps create healthier agriculture systems that support birds, pollinators, and a more resilient environment.
