Battle of the Breweries Keg Curling Fundraiser for Tsolum River Restoration

Breweries keg curl for Tsolum River

The Comox Valley Curling Centre is thrilled to announce the 5th annual Battle of The Breweries Keg Curling Fundraiser, this year in benefit of Tsolum Society. The CVCC made history as being the first ever (and still only) curling tournament featuring beer kegs actually curled on the ice! For this year’s tournament the participating craft breweries are Ace Brewing, Beach Fire, Cumberland Brewing, Hoyne, Land & Sea, Mount Arrowsmith, & Rad Brewing. An eighth team will be comprised of CVCC staff to complete the tournament bracket. These crafty brewers will be battling it out in this special spectator friendly and fan participation event on Saturday March 22 at 7:30. The winner to receive bragging rights for the year, a $1000 advertising prize from Jet FM, and the cherished opportunity to sip from the grand prize trophy the Kegoblet.

In addition to the fierce on ice competition between the breweries, anyone in attendance at the club will be welcome to try shooting a beer keg themselves (for a small $5.00 donation) at the intermission and win prizes for getting their keg closest to the button (center of the curling rings). All proceeds from this event will go to Tsolum River Restoration Society and their efforts preserving the integrity and future salmon stocks of this near and crucial waterway.
