Fort Myers Brewing Company is bringing back its fan-favorite Grouper Fest this June, and this year\u2019s celebration is expanding into three full weekends packed with live music, specialty beers, local food trucks, and family-friendly fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking place at Fort Myers Brewing Company, located at 12811 Commerce Lakes Drive in Fort Myers, Grouper Fest 2026 promises to be one of the biggest summer events in Southwest Florida. Inspired by the brewery\u2019s wildly popular Mosaic Grouper beer, the festival will feature exclusive beer variations released throughout the month, giving guests something new to experience each weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best of all, the event is completely free to attend and welcomes families, friends, and even four-legged companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Weekends of Food, Beer, and Live Entertainment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than limiting the celebration to one weekend, Fort Myers Brewing Company has turned Grouper Fest into a month-long summer kickoff featuring three unique experiences leading up to a massive grand finale weekend June 26\u201328.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guests can expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Specialty Mosaic Grouper beer releases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live music from local and regional bands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotating food truck lineup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exclusive merchandise drops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdoor festival atmosphere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pet-friendly environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weekend 1: Merch Release &amp; Festival Kickoff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June 12\u201314<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival begins with the highly anticipated merchandise and koozie release.
