The recent surge in popularity of craft beer in Southwest Florida including the opening of several local breweries has done wonders to help quench the thirst of area enthusiasts. True to the founding pillars of the Rock Brothers brand, the Rock Brothers Craft Beer & Music Festival is the first beer festival in Southwest Florida to be centered around live music.
