Bonita Springs isn't quite as sleepy as it used to be. It's also cultivating a small but mighty beer scene, helped out by yearly events like the Bonita Brew Fest.
This year's event took place at Riverside Park, right in downtown Bonita Springs and pretty close to my favorite Everglades Wonder Gardens. It's also sponsored by the Southwest Florida Brew Crafters, and we start today's episode speaking to John Newman, president of the Brew Crafters to learn more about the organization, the event, and the SWFL beer scene in general.
From there, we will also be chatting with the CEO of the newly-opened Swamp Cat Brewing, Chris Gutirrez, Bill Vaughn and his new Kaleidoscope Brewing, Coastal Dayz Brewing owner Alex Tatko, Point Ybel Brewing owner Jordan Weisberg, and Scotty's Bierwerks Head Brewer Max Maldorf. It was quite the busy day! Listen in...
