BREWERY CURLING


Brewery Curling is played on our two ice rinks, located in the Land-Grant Wintergarden and at Gravity Park. Each match is played by two teams (your included igloo holds up to 8 people) taking turns sliding kegs across the ice toward a target. Rules are very similar to bocce in that the team with the keg closest to the center of the target scores, and gets a subsequent point for each keg they have closer to the center than the opposing teams closest keg. Kid and dog friendly. ALL WELCOME!

HOW TO PLAY:

The winner is the team having the highest number of accumulated points at the completion of 10 ends. An “end” is when each team has thrown all of their stones (kegs) and the score has been decided. 

Points are scored at the conclusion of each end as follows: the team with the stone (keg) closest to the center (“the tee”) wins that end; the winning team is then awarded one point for each of its own stones lying closer to the tee than the opponent's closest stone. 

If at the completion of an end no stone is on or inside the scoring circle (“in the house”), no team earns points in this end; this situation is called a “blank end.” 

Have fun and “Good Curling!”

CURLING AND IGLOO FAQ


WHAT IS BREWERY CURLING?

Brewery Curling is played on our 1,300 square foot ice rink located in the turf covered portion of our Beer Garden. Each 90 minute match is played by two teams (your included igloo holds up to 8 people) taking turns sliding kegs across the ice toward a target. Rules are very similar to bocce in that the team with the keg closest to the center of the target scores, and gets a subsequent point for each keg they have closer to the center than the opposing teams closest keg.

 

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

The winner is the team having the highest number of accumulated points at the completion of 10 ends. An “end” is when each team has thrown all of their stones (kegs) and the score has been decided.

Points are scored at the conclusion of each end as follows: the team with the stone (keg) closest to the center (“the tee”) wins that end; the winning team is then awarded one point for each of its own stones lying closer to the tee than the opponent’s closest stone.

If at the completion of an end no stone is on or inside the scoring circle (“in the house”), no team earns points in this end; this situation is called a “blank end.” We will have someone on site to help answer any questions you have during the game.

Directions and rules will be provided at the start of your game and are posted throughout the curling area.

 

I HAVE A LARGE PARTY – WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Groups are welcome to reserve multiple lanes, if multiple lanes are available at that time. Groups are welcome to invite more than 8 people, but please note that only 8 people fit comfortably in an igloo.

 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURLING AT THE WINTERGARDEN AND GRAVITY PARK?

The Wintergarden is located at 424 W. Town Street and is an extension of our regular indoor taproom. Curling at the Wintergarden is in 90 minute sessions, costs $70, includes an igloo and has QR code ordering available. 

Gravity Park (new this winter) is located just behind Land-Grant at 98 McDowell St, it is where our Ice Bumper Cars and additional curling lanes are located. Curling reservations at Gravity Park are in 60 minute sessions for $45. These do not include an igloo or QR code ordering, but we have two large heated tents adjacent to the rink for purchasing and enjoying beer and hot beverages.

HOW FAR IS GRAVITY PARK FROM THE IGLOOS/WINTERGARDEN?

Gravity Park and its Curling Lanes and Ice Bumper Cars are located across chapel alley from Land-Grant and the Wintergarden, approximately 100 yards. Igloos make a great spot for pre and post curling hangs, but are not adjacent to the Gravity Park ice, see the map above.

 

WHERE CAN MY GROUP PARK?

Parking can be a little tricky in our neighborhood, so check out the map below for all the parking options in the area. There are tons of meters, free street parking, and large garages within a block or two of the taproom. We also have a small onsite parking lot, and Columbus offers myriad public transportation, ride-share, and taxi options.

Please do not park in the Strongwater/400 W. Rich parking lot across the street from the brewery, or in the Idea Foundry's parking lot behind the brewery. You may be towed.

 

CAN I RESERVE THE LANE LONGER THAN 90 MINUTES?

Only 90 minute reservations are available, however, your group is welcome to book the lane for a second 90 minute reservation if it has not been previously reserved. We absolutely encourage guests to keep their party going after their curling reservation and continue mingling in the taproom or beer garden after their reservation has ended. Groups can also reserve an igloo or the Kickstarter room following their curling reservation (pending availability).

 

IS THERE "TABLE SERVICE"?

Yes! In the Wintergarden igloos, you can now order drinks from the bar via an online menu which can be accessed via QR code, beverages will then be delivered directly to your igloo by our friendly staff.

At Gravity Park, select beer and hot beverages are available at the bar inside one of the heated tents, with additional seating available in the other tent.

 

DO I HAVE TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

Yes, all igloos and brewery curling are reservation only, but you can walk in and make a reservation at the check-in station if there is availability. Follow these links to make a reservation online: Igloos / Curling

 

WHAT IF I DO NOT SEE MY TIME AVAILABLE TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

This means someone else has reserved this time and a curling lane and/or is not available.

 

CAN I RESERVE PRIVATE SPACE?

We are not able to close our doors to the public or offer private space in the taproom or beer garden. The only reservations we take are for our Beer Garden Igloos, Brewery Curling lanes, and our Kickstarter Room.

 

WHAT IS THIS BOOKING FEE?

It is the cost to reserve the curling lane or igloo. The rates are $70 for 90 minutes of curling with an igloo in the Wintergarden, $45 for 60 minutes of curling at Gravity Park, $30 for an igloo Friday-Sunday, and $20 for an igloo Monday-Thursday. This fee will not be applied to your tab. You can cancel your reservation for up to 24 hours through your Tock account.

 

CAN I BRING IN OUTSIDE FOOD OR ALCOHOL?

Outside alcohol is strictly forbidden. Your group will be asked to leave if we find outside alcohol inside your igloo or anywhere on the premises. Beer and drinks purchased at Land-Grant can be brought over to Gravity Park, and vice versa.  As for food, we allow outside desserts in our space and ask that you support our local food trucks. If you would like your party catered with food, please work with our food truck for that day. The food truck schedule can be viewed on our Taproom Page.
