Due to inclement weather, Fort Myers Brewing Company is extending its Winterfest event to two weekends, with festivities now to be held Dec. 14-17 and Dec. 22-23. The family-friendly event includes craft beer, food trucks, live music, a holiday handcrafted night market, free photo opportunities with the Grinch and a festive “Movie in the Parking Lot” screening of The Grinch.
Beer releases starting this weekend include Keg Nog, a holiday-inspired imperial stout; Penny Lager, a copper lager; 2 Star’s Wish, a holiday ale; and a full taplist of popular beers and seltzers.
