Rolling into Winter Sports: The Brewery Keg Curling Craze
So, what’s the deal with keg curling? In the frothy nutshell, it’s the classic game of curling with a barrel of a twist. Instead of stones, you slide kegs (yes, the beer ones) across a glossy ice rink toward a target, also known as the “house.” It’s like bocce meets shuffleboard meets Oktoberfest. The goal? To be the brewmaster of the house, with your keg nestled closest to the center. It’s cozier than a cable-knit sweater and gives your pint-pouring arm a sporting chance to shine.
