BURNABY, B.C. (Sep 4, 2025) – Curl BC is proud to announce a new partnership with Driftwood Brewery, welcoming the Victoria-born, Esquimalt-based brewery as the Official Beer Supplier of Curl BC.
Founded in 2008, Driftwood Brewery has become a staple of BC’s craft beer scene. Its connection to curling is especially fitting—Esquimalt is home to the Archie Browning Arena and Esquimalt Curling Club, and will host the 2026 BC Men’s, Women’s, and U20 Championships from December 29, 2025, to January 4, 2026.
“Curling has given me so much personally, and this is a way for us to give back in a more direct and meaningful way,” said Driftwood Brewery partner Gary Lindsay, who is both a brewer and a passionate curler. “As a local brewery, we’re proud to continue and expand our support of BC’s curling communities. Driftwood has already been supporting some curling clubs and events across the province, and this partnership with Curl BC elevates our commitment to the sport.”
Curl BC CEO Scott Braley said the partnership marks an exciting step for the province’s curling community: “We’re thrilled to welcome Driftwood into the Curl BC family. This local partnership will help enhance the curling experience for clubs and curlers across the province. We’re also looking forward to working closely with our member facilities so they can take full advantage of this opportunity—alongside all the other member benefits available.”
As the 2025–26 season unfolds, Driftwood Brewery will have a growing presence at Curl BC events, offering new opportunities for curlers and fans to connect, celebrate, and raise a glass together.
