November 18th | Ottawa, ON – Rogers Centre Ottawa is proud to announce the renewal of its exclusive craft beer partnership with award-winning local brewery, Broadhead Brewery. This renewed partnership reinforces the Centre’s commitment to showcasing premium local products to its global audience of delegates, eventgoers, and visitors. Following a successful initial term, Broadhead Brewery will continue as the exclusive craft beer supplier for Rogers Centre Ottawa.
As part of the renewed agreement, Broadhead’s signature lineup of local favourites will once again be featured on the Centre’s bars. This includes, the hazy NEIPA, the easy-drinking Light, and the smooth caramel-toned Amber Ale. A well-rounded selection designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes and event atmospheres.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Broadhead Brewery and to keep bringing their exceptional lineup of craft beers to our guests,” said Josh Verch, Director of Marketing and Partnerships at Rogers Centre Ottawa. “Our collaboration with Broadhead has consistently elevated the beverage experience across our events. Their commitment to quality and community aligns perfectly with our values, and we look forward to what the next chapter of this partnership brings.”
New Community-Focused Release: 'Ottawa Wheat 26' by Emily Clark
As part of Broadhead’s ongoing commitment to innovation and community engagement, the brewery partnered with Emily Clark, star forward for the Ottawa Charge and member of the Canadian Women’s National Team, to release a new limited-edition craft beer: Ottawa Wheat 26, a refreshing raspberry wheat ale (4.4% ABV).
This exciting collaboration marks a milestone in Canadian sports and brewing: Clark becomes the first female professional athlete in Canada to launch her own inspired craft beer. A portion of the proceeds from every can sold will go directly to support The Breast Health Centre at The Ottawa Hospital, helping fund essential care and research for women’s health.
Adding to the excitement, Rogers Centre Ottawa is thrilled to begin offering Ottawa Wheat 26, bringing this one-of-a-kind brew to even more people across the city. Whether you’re a fan of great beer, women’s hockey, or supporting meaningful causes in the community, Ottawa Wheat 26 is a bold, flavourful way to show your support.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Rogers Centre Ottawa. Having our beer enjoyed by a global audience is a huge point of pride, but what really matters is the local impact. This partnership allows us to do more of what we love, which is brewing great beer and supporting our community. The launch of ‘Ottawa Wheat 26’ with Emily Clark is a perfect example; it’s about celebrating local heroes and giving back to a cause that matters deeply to us all.”
— Jamie White, CEO, Broadhead Brewery
The renewal of this partnership continues Rogers Centre Ottawa’s vision of offering locally sourced, globally inspired food and beverage experiences, while supporting innovative, community-rooted producers like Broadhead Brewery.
