Glorious Night for a Drifter.

10/15/2026

YOUR NEW FAVOURITE OFFICE HAS A B**R BAR.

Need a change of scenery? Head upstairs to The Loft at Drifter.

Perched above our b**r bar, right in the middle of the action but just separate enough to get some serious work done.

Bring your laptop, grab some lunch, host a casual meeting, or just smash away at that keyboard until the workday is done.

Good food. Great atmosphere. A little background buzz. And when the work is finished? Your afternoon pint is only a few steps away.

Who says getting work done has to feel like work?

It’s not often you’ll catch all three of us in the same photo. In fact, even this one required a little editing magic to make it happen!

From left to right:
Curtis Wells — Chef & General Manager
Paul Thibodeau — Director of Brewery Operations
Dan Lazzari — Owner

It’s not that we don’t work together. Quite the opposite. We’re just usually busy doing our own things to keep Drifter moving forward.

We all have different roles, different responsibilities, and plenty on our plates. Some days we barely cross paths, but everything we do is working toward the same goal.

Making Drifter what it is.

There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes that most people never see. From the kitchen to the brewery to everything in between, we each have our part to play.

Different jobs, different challenges, different perspectives. We don’t always agree on everything, but we’re all pulling in the same direction.

And while getting the three of us together for a photo might take a little creative editing, we’re proud of what we’re building alongside the rest of our hardworking team.

The Diavola. A little heat, a lot of flavour.

Spicy Calabrese salami, Calabrian hot peppers, and melted mozzarella on our pomodoro base, finished with a drizzle of hot honey.

A little spicy, a little sweet, and even better with a pint of Drifter b**r.

Sometimes all you need is a great pizza and a cold b**r.

See you Wednesday!

From our brewery to communities all across New Brunswick!

FROM AWAY is making its way around the province, and we couldn’t be happier to see our locally brewed b**r on shelves throughout New Brunswick.

Brewed right here at Drifter Brew Co., we’re proud to share a little piece of what we do with b**r lovers from one end of the province to the other.

Whether you’re close to home or exploring somewhere new this fall, look for FROM AWAY at your local ANBL.

Locally owned. Locally brewed. Proudly New Brunswick.

Blog #51 – A Little Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a pretty good excuse to stop for a moment and appreciate the people around you.

And this year, there are a lot of people we’re thankful for.

When we opened Drifter, we had an idea of what we wanted to create. A place for good food, good b**r and people to get together. We had plenty of plans, a lot of enthusiasm and absolutely no way of knowing how the community would respond.

More than two years later, we’re still figuring things out, still learning and still working to make Drifter better. But one thing that’s been pretty consistent is the support we’ve received from the people around us.

From the guests who have been coming since we opened to those who have only recently discovered us, every visit matters. Whether you’re stopping in for a pint, bringing the family for dinner, joining us for trivia, running with DRC or celebrating something important with us, we appreciate that you’ve chosen to spend some of your time at Drifter.

We’re also fortunate to be surrounded by other local businesses, farmers, suppliers and organizations who help make what we do possible. It’s a good reminder that being part of a community means supporting one another, and we’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built along the way.

And then there’s our team.

Running a restaurant and brewery takes a lot of people doing a lot of different things, often when everyone else is enjoying their evenings, weekends and holidays. From the kitchen and front of house to the brewery and everyone working behind the scenes, we’re thankful for the effort, patience and pride they bring to Drifter.

I also know that owning a business like this asks a lot of our families. There are long days, missed dinners, weekends spent working and plenty of conversations about Drifter that probably should have waited until tomorrow. I’m especially thankful for the understanding and support that makes all of this possible.

We’re a locally owned family business, and this is our home too. Our kids are growing up here, we spend our time here, and we get to see firsthand how much this community has to offer.

We don’t take the support for granted. We know there are plenty of choices when it comes to where you spend your time and money, and we’re grateful whenever that choice includes us.

So, from our family and everyone at Drifter, thank you.

Enjoy the day, the food, the company and hopefully a little time to relax.

Happy Thanksgiving.

– Dan from Drifter
