Chubby Mermaid Brewing Co

This veteran-owned microbrewery offers an eclectic and rotating selection of handcrafted beers, including crisp lagers, IPAs, and unique small-batch experimental brews. The taproom provides a laid-back, nautical atmosphere with ample seating, including a dedicated upstairs area for those looking to relax in a quieter space. The on-site kitchen serves a variety of popular pub eats, such as giant pretzels, nachos, and specialty cheeseburgers topped with bacon jam. The brewery is deeply involved in the local community, partnering with organizations like Calusa Waterkeeper to donate a portion of sales toward protecting Florida's manatees and coastal waterways. Located just off Industrial Road, the brewery is a short ride away from local attractions like the historic Wonder Gardens and the Flamingo Island Flea Market. Whether you are stopping for a flight of fresh brews or a full meal, it offers a welcoming environment that highlights the coastal spirit of Southwest Florida.
