Craft Crazy – The SWFL Craft Beverage Spotlight

Bone Hook

Southwest Florida is home to some of the best hand-crafted adult beverages in the nation, and our ESPN team is looking to showcase the amazing regional craft breweries and distilleries. We'll also be visiting breweries to sample their best beverage. I mean, we have to know what we're talking about.

Our current feature is on the Bone Hook Brewing Company located at 1514 Immokalee Rd Unit 106, Naples, FL 34110. From their website:

We are a locally owned and operated business. We are proud to be a family run business. I am proud to be a hard working owner. “The owner” just means that I get to clean the bathrooms every night and open the door every morning… and do everything in between. I will never ask another team member to do something that I haven’t already done.

Family run? You betcha’. During Covid, it was not uncommon to see my three children hand rolling labels onto our cans. Without their hard work and sacrifice, Bone Hook would not be alive today. My wife runs her own distribution company that delivers Bone Hook beer to your business’s door. We are proud to live in SW Florida. We are proud to have a business in Southwest Florida. We are honored to have you drink our beer and eat our food.
