Point Ybel Brewing to celebrate bottle release and concert

Point Ybel Brewing Company has just taken to social media and their newsletter to tell the world about their first-ever bottle release that will coincide with a concert from Roadkill Ghost Choir performing at the brewery for a second time.

From Point Ybel:

Point Ybel would like to welcome back Roadkill Ghost Choir to our tasting room, Hurricane Hole, on November 22. This time they are bringing friends, with Redfeather from St. Petersburg opening for this show.

This will be the official retail bottle release for “A Blow to the Head,” the Belgian-style Imperial IPA we did for the band’s first show at Point Ybel. This will be our first official bottle release. A Blow to the Head is named after a track on Roadkill’s new album, “In Tongues.”

Point Ybel Brewing Company is located at 16120 San Carlos Boulevard in the Point Ybel section of Fort Myers. Their first bottle release/ concert will be held on November 22nd. The trouble starts at 7pm.

Point Ybel Brewing teams up with Roadkill Ghost Choir

Press Release:

Emerging fully-formed from the desolate heart of Central Florida, Roadkill Ghost Choir make unsettling, powerful American rock, Tom Petty by way of Radiohead and Cormac McCarthy. Set against Kiffy Meyer’s ghostly steel pedal, singer and main songwriter Andrew Shepard triumphantly conjures an allegorical American landscape of drifters, specters and violent saints. Andrew’s brothers Maxx (drums) and Zach (bass) Shepard round out the rhythm section, and Stephen Garza handles lead guitar.

The band released their debut EP ‘Quiet Light’ in 2013 in the midst of a touring run that saw them opening for Band of Horses and 2013 festival slots at New York’s Governor’s Ball, Austin City Limits and Shaky Knees in Atlanta, GA. In January 2014 the band was invited to perform on the David Letterman Show, where they performed standout track “Beggar’s Guild.” Their debut full-length, recorded in Athens, Georgia and in their home studio in Deland, Florida with producer Doug Boehm, will be out later this year. The band will be touring supporting the new album, including stops at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
