A BIG THANK YOU TO SWAMP CAT BREW CO. FOR THE TOUR, EXCELLENT BEER, AND VARIETY OF FOOD OPTIONS!
A big thank you from the Beer Club at Cross Creek to Swamp Cat Brew Co. off Fowler and Martin Luther King Boulevard in Fort Myers. On April 8, Swamp Cat Brew Co. provided an excellent tour of their brewing facilities, history of the brewery and of course, the Beer Club sampled all their excellent beers!
Michele was our tour guide and was very generous with her time and expertise. Swamp Cat Brewing recently opened, and their location boasts three on-site food vendor stalls, a meeting room, and indoor and outdoor seating. They are bringing in music and activities for all ages.

Travelling and sampling beer in different locations is a great summertime activity or in my life, all year long! A designated driver helps, and most breweries have nonalcoholic drinks. Share your summertime travels with me by sending a picture of the beer, the location and what you liked about the beer pictured.
Beer is for sharing with friends and family. There is a theory that beer was developed when humans moved from hunter gatherers to settled agriculture to ease the pressures of many humans living in one place. Beer could smooth the rough edges of living in close contact with your neighbors. Beer was also a part of many rituals for early humans and there is extensive archaeological evidence of beer production back as far as 15000 BC. No one will ever know who brewed the first beer but many of the steps for making bread and beer overlap. It is not a big leap that bread making went wrong and the resulting mess was the first beer. Something to ponder as you enjoy a cold beer!
