Fort Myers Brewing Co. Winterfest Extends Holiday Cheer

Escape to the Enchanting Winterfest at Fort Myers Brewing Company

Gather ’round, hop enthusiasts and winter whimsy seekers! Due to an unexpected twist in the weather recently, the Fort Myers Brewing Company is serving up a second round of festive cheer with its extended Winterfest event on December 22-23. It’s not just a gathering; it’s an epic holiday fiesta where both Santa and hops-loving adults can raise a glass to joyous festivities!

Holiday Cheers and Beery Joys

Picture this: you, your family, and a pint of crafty deliciousness in hand, surrounded by a symphony of savory food trucks and rollicking live music. Craft beer aficionados can anticipate a sensational lineup, including Craft Beer Releases like the Keg Nog, an imperial stout with a holiday twist so magnificent it might just knock Santa’s boots off! Not to be outdone, the Penny Lager shines bright with its copper hue, while the 2 Star’s Wish ale delivers the holiday spirit in liquid form. But that’s not all – a full taplist of popular brews and seltzers will also be decking the halls of the venue.

Let the Festive Times Roll

If you’re searching for the holiday-themed entertainment, look no further. This shindig kicks off on Friday, December 22, transforming the brewery into a Grinchmas Wonderland, complete with tantalizing Food Trucks like Mambo and Viva La Taco. The tunes of Gator Nate will serenade you from 3 to 6 p.m., setting the mood for a memorable night. And if your heart grows three sizes that day, it might just be because of the free photo ops with the Grinch himself from 5 to 8 p.m. Don’t miss the ‘Movie in the Parking Lot,’ where The Grinch will be stealing Christmas (and our hearts) on the big screen from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The merriment continues on Saturday, December 23, where the feast goes on with scrumptious bites from Fat Thor’s Smash Burger and the regal King’s Tacos & Burritos. The evening’s soundtrack will be crafted by Nick Smith from 7 to 10 p.m., ensuring your holiday spirits are lifted higher than Rudolph on a foggy night.

Set your sleigh’s GPS to Fort Myers Brewing Company, located at 12811 Commerce Lakes Drive, Suite 28, and don’t forget to bring those lawn chairs. Seating’s hotter than chestnuts on an open fire, and they go faster than Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve!
