Point Ybel Brewing Company

Major flavors and quality beers in a divey locals setting. Everyone sees you walk in. Good service, rotating taps. There’s a cooler with some good options, I’d have bought a couple of 500 mL bottles if they weren’t $30 a pop.,.
The TIPA ‘Atlanticus Megahops’ is, perhaps, the best single brew in SW Florida.

 

Just drove by and decided to stop..... So glad we did! If you are looking for high quality, twists on standard styles, please stop! The brewer and assistant Brewer were and on site. Highly, highly recommend!

 

I thought it was busy for a Friday afternoon at about 2:30. The bar had no seating remaining and three picnic tables near the bar were also full. I had read there was a problem with service. I took a seat at the bar when a couple left. The beer tender asked what I wanted and answered any questions I had. I collect the logo glasses from breweries and she directed me to where the choices were on a shelf at the end of the bar. I also asked for a coaster that wasn't used. She made one for me.

 

 

this is my favorite of the several breweries we have visited down here so far. they have a cool little strip mall space, mellow inside with their really cool beer specific art blown up on the walls, beachy feeling, cool and dim lit, a long bar and a stage area, small enough to feel crafty but big enough to not feel crowded even wit some people in here, with the brewery in the back and one mellow bartender doing a great job. i appreciated the samples and the beer knowledge, and i could have stayed a lot longer here chatting it up and tasting, but time was tight. they had maybe ten beers on, and some local nitro cold brew coffee. they seem to be getting some attention for their ipa types, and we enjoyed the wheat east coast double ipa and also the hazy single ipa, both juicy and on trend and really well executed, but we also like the other beers we had in here, including a coconut imperial stout and an oyster stout, as well as a breakfast stout with coffee and cocoa and vanilla served on nitro. they had a decent nelson saison too, well above the local average it seems, at least in my experience. we sat at a picnic table inside and just relaxed. we havent found a ton of great local craft beer in this area, so this place was awesome. definitely some of the better beers around, and a cool place to hang. highly recommended!

 

This is a neat smaller brewery located in Fort Myers, FL on the way to Fort Myers Beach. The tap room is a clean bright wooden bar with a couple of large park benches to sit at. There is a small stage that hosts different music events throughout the week. It seems that on Wednesday they do a different Randall concoction. The head brewer Jordan really seems to know his stuff! He certainly has an affinity to sours, but still makes a great selection of different brews. There is food that can be ordered in close by. As all places the help can be a little lacks at times so the service can suffer.

 

 

Stopped by on vacation with a good buddy who moved down to Florida a few years ago. It is located in a little strip mall on the main drag. No food but we ordered Thai food from a place next door which my buddy's fiancee was good enough to pick up on her way over to join us.

Solid selection but only about six or seven taps available. Sat at the bar and later at the picnic style tables to eat. The service was friendly and patient as we sampled different brews. Really liked the Kolsch style and various pale ales and took home a 32 oz. growler of the O-Face stout. Only Florida has this stupid law about no half gallon growlers. My buddy John says its beacuse Bud and Miller lobbyists have a ton of pull with the state legislature. Sounds dumb to me because they're finally getting their act together with craft brew and they're hamstringing themselves. Anyhoo, this is a place worth checking out.

Small, unpretentious brewery with a lasting room. Friendly knowledgable staff. They were happy to give us a short tour. Enjoyed the Extra Pale Ale and the Saison.

 

 

 

Great local place with just a tasting room out front. Rotating selection on tap, they do flights, pints, crowlers, and growlers. The staff is knowledgable and not at all pretentious - I'm just starting out in the beer world and my group was the same and the bartender was happy to answer questions and explain everything. The beers we had ranged from average/good to very, very good.

A very relaxed setting, overall a really good place to sample some good brews.

 

 

 

 

 

As a regular at Point Ybel, I felt compelled to finally sit down and write a proper review. To begin, the atmosphere in the tasting room is very nice. They have a large bar area to go along with several tables for seating. They feature live music several nights a week. The staff and brewers are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They're willing to allow bottle shares which is always a plus. Now, for the important part: the beer. Point Ybel offers a wide array of styles and they almost always impress. Whether you're looking for a saison, a session IPA or something much bigger, they'll have something for you. Their Snook Bite IPA is a great place to start, but they'll let you sample anything to find exactly what you want. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone in the Fort Myers area.

We visited the Point Ybel Brewing Company while on vacation in Ft Myers, FL. Our first taste of their beer was at a bar down the road, and since it was delicious we thought we would support a local brewpub and see what they have going on. First off, the atmosphere was very Floridian; fishing nets, and boating stuff was around the taproom as decor. Not my cup of tea, but the place was not dirty or cramped or anything of that matter. Their beer is freaking phenomenal, absurdly fresh tasting. We enjoyed talking to the bartender, as she was friendly and deep within the craft beer scene. Awesome place!

 

 

 

Grabbed a flight and a couple of beers. Excellent selection. They have a bunch of great new beers coming up with an already outstanding selection of their year round line up. Great place to grab fresh great local beer.

The EPA was so light and refreshing with lots of hoppy flavor. An outstanding beer to throw back on a super hot day.
The Pale was very similar to the EPA but a full bodied beer
The black lager had excellent roasted flavor. I' wanted to growler the black but couldn't because they were low on it.
IPA was better than a lot of IPAs I've had from breweries of bigger size. This is what I grabbed a growler of and I'm glad I did.
DIPA isn't "officially released" but I got a sample of the unfinished product. Wow! It has huge hoppiness. 10.2%. Can't wait to get back there and try it.
