Fort Myers Brewing to host 10th Anniversary Party Feb. 23-26
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Fort Myers Brewing Company is celebrating 10 years in business and will mark the occasion with a four-day 10th Anniversary Party Feb. 23-26 that features more than 50 rotating specialty craft brews, food trucks and live music.
Founded by husband-and-wife duo Rob and Jen Whyte, Fort Myers Brewing opened its doors in 2013 as Lee County's first microbrewery, selling a few brews from a 400-square-foot taproom. Today, Fort Myers Brewing is one of the largest craft brewers in the state with a 22,000-square-foot operation and signature line of award-winning brews and seltzers.
"We were new to town when we started our brewery and hoped that the business would help us make a few new friends," said brewery Co-owner Jen Whyte. "We never dreamed that Fort Myers Brewing would be what it is today, and it's all thanks to Southwest Florida embracing us all those years ago."

The brewery's anniversary celebration features four days of beer releases that will rotate the taps throughout the weekend. Among this year's signature brews is Fort Myers Brewing's 10th Anniversary IPA, a 10% Double/Imperial IPA. Also on tap are the brewery's popular Nevah' Evah' hazy IPA, Electric Triceratops 3 IPA and the international award-winning Chocolate Stout.
"A lot of hard work goes into making our brews, and our 10th Anniversary IPA is a special one for our brew crew," said Co-owner Rob Whyte, whose passion for homebrewing led to the launch of Fort Myers Brewing a decade ago. "Reaching 10 years is a big milestone for our team, and we're celebrating the way we know best – with a party."
The full event schedule includes:
Thursday, Feb. 23 (2 to 10 p.m.)
Friday, Feb. 24 (2 to 11 p.m.)
Saturday, Feb. 25 (Noon to 11 p.m.)
