Fort Myers Brewing to host 2021 Summer Beer Fest June 18-20
Fort Myers Brewing Company is kicking off the hottest season of the year with its ninth annual Summer Beer Fest June 18-20, a three-day summer bash featuring a variety of live music, food trucks and more than 30 specialty beers.
From Friday, June 18 through Sunday, June 20, the party of the season will feature brew-tastic festivities for families, friends and pets to enjoy, including live entertainment, award-winning beer and over 10 of Southwest Florida’s tastiest food trucks.
“We’re excited to put on our popular Summer Beer Fest celebration and offer another great lineup of beer, food and bands for our ninth annual event,” said Jen Whyte, co-founder of Fort Myers Brewing. “To celebrate our summer beer festival, we’ve created a hazy, session IPA that gives off a light bitterness with flavors of sweet fruits and citrus undertones.”
Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy a wide selection of locally brewed ales, stouts and lagers, in addition to local food trucks such as Wicked Streatery, Vesuvius Wood Fired Pizza and Mobstah Lobstah. Bring lawn chairs to hangout and jam to five live performances, including Matt Walden, Hat Trick and Tobacco Rd Band.
Festivities will be held at Fort Myers Brewing Company, 12811 Commerce Lakes Drive, Suite 28, in Fort Myers.
