Fat Point Brewing Company, Punta Gorda’s craft brewery definitely has a good thing brewing. And like news of a great beer, word of mouth carries a long way. Amplify that with the fact that this is Punta Gorda’s first local brewery and anticipation of opening reaches an almost fever pitch.

When Fat Point announced that the brewery was hosting a release party for their Ryeght Angle IPA, tickets were posted online. Within 72 hours, the party was sold out.

The event, taking place this Saturday, August 16th, will be part of a series of events designed to make the public aware of the kinds of beers Fat Point is looking to pour.

From Fat Point’s Facebook page:

SOLD OUT – Over 200 tickets for our Ryeght Angle IPA Release Party sold out in under 72 hours. We truly appreciate the support and are looking forward to an awesome event. Unfortunately, the sellout means we won’t be selling tickets at the event. See you Saturday!
