Join Leadership NEXT on Tuesday, July 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Fort Myers Brewing Company located at 12811 Commerce Lakes Dr. in the Gateway neighborhood of southeast Fort Myers. Entrepreneurs Rob and Jennifer Gratz-Whyte will share what inspired them to open Lee County’s first craft brewery in 2013 and the key factors that have led to the young company being named Best Large Brewer in Florida at the 2016 Best Florida Beer Competition.
Following the presentation and a behind-the-scenes tour of the brewery, attendees are encouraged to stay for a networking social sponsored by BB&T-Oswald Trippe and Company. The Sizzle Food Truck featuring gourmet sandwiches and appetizers made with fresh, local ingredients will offer food for purchase. The July 12 program is free to attend, yet guests are encouraged to register in advance.
