Fort Myers Brewing Company is gearing up for this year’s four-day Oktoberfest event, featuring craft beer, authentic German food and live music from Thursday, Oct. 12 through Sunday, Oct. 15 in Fort Myers. Fort Myers Brewing will have a wide variety of festivities for families, friends and pets to enjoy all weekend long. A vast selection of locally brewed beers will be on tap, as well as limited-time releases of Fort Myers Brewing’s signature Oktoberfest beers, including the Oktoberfest, a traditional German-style Marzen lager with delicious and balanced malt flavors, Pump-Q-Lees, a tasty imperial pumpkin ale, and more to be announced in the coming weeks. Live performances will take place throughout the weekend from headliners including Ben Allen Band, Rock Republic, Briz & Lady, Ralph Curtis and more. There will be German-inspired eats from popular trucks such as Currywurst, Grace’s Taste of Poland, Wicked Streatery, The Meat Cottage, Smokin Crow and more. The brewery will also host a stein-hoisting competition, a traditional Bavarian endurance contest in which participants must hold a full stein in their outstretched arm as long as possible without spilling any beer. The brewery is also releasing limited-edition Oktoberfest swag, including commemorative glasses and T-shirts, available for purchase in the tap room. Oktoberfest will be held at Fort Myers Brewing Company, 12811 Commerce Lakes Drive, Suite 28, in Fort Myers. For more information, visit Facebook.com/FMBrew or call 239-313-6576.
