    I'm gonna be in Naples (I'm from MA) next week, hoping to find some decent beer. My last visit there I went to Total Wine and picked up some Jai Alai IPA and Hopslam, that's pretty much it. Hoping to find some better stuff this time around. I'm not really able to travel too far while I'm down there. I'm basically looking for suggestions of good quality beer I can find in stores or on tap in the area. Any suggestions?

    I really enjoyed Naples Beach Brewing when I was down there in December. I tried 4 or 5 different offerings. The Triple 'C' stout and Friendsgiving stood out and everything was else good. They had live music and a BBQ food truck the night I went.

    I tried the Total Wine and the ABC, neither had an awesome selection in December. I've gotten lucky and found some good Funky Buddha at the ABC before though.

    Brass Tap usually has some good tap selections when I'm down there. They fill growlers too

    Naples Beach Brewing is a good option and I agree with Brendan that Triple C is probably their best. There's also a new brewery off Immokalee called Bone Hook that's not bad. They have a big selection for a brand new brewery (20 taps). Multiple solid beers I just haven't been blown away by anything. If you're willing to make about a 30 minute drive Fort Myers Brewing is really good too.

    As for non-brewery options South Street Grill and The Pub (in Mercato) have two of the better rotating tap lists. Total Wine, ABC and Pepper's Liquors would be where I'd recommend for stores. Enjoy your trip and feel free to post/ message me if you have any other questions!

    I did a beer flight last week at Bone Hook and I picked some tasty beers. I would go back to rate more of their beers.

    I'm headed down to Naples at the end of October - anything new to suggest for breweries, good food + beer spots, and bottle shops (especially anyplace that is newly opened/opening before then and has minimal reviews in the Places section).

    I suggest picking up MIA cans, neon, mega mix, etc. Should be able to find them at total wine.

    @jkschoessel I'm headed to Naples in a little more than a week from now - I'm looking at checking out the breweries but is there any decent beer stores? Are any of the Peppers better than others?
