The Naples Brewery Tour: Where to Sip Without Worrying About the Drive Home

Naples has a small but likeable craft beer scene, with taprooms scattered from Bayshore Drive up Immokalee Road and on into Bonita Springs. That spread is the main reason a brewery day here needs a plan for getting around.

Older lists are the trap. Riptide Brewing handed its original Naples taproom to Kaleidoscope Beer Company in September 2024 and now pours only in Bonita Springs, and Kaleidoscope itself closed that taproom in July 2026. Follow an old guide to 987 3rd Avenue North and you will find neither.

The breweries worth building a route around

These four were open and listing current hours on their own websites in November 2026.

Ankrolab Brewing Company, Bayshore Drive

Ankrolab sits at 3555 Bayshore Drive, and its site calls the space a taproom and beer garden. There are indoor TVs for games and cornhole out in the beer garden.

It opens at 3pm Monday to Friday and at noon on weekends, closing at 8pm on Mondays and Sundays. The site also lists an in-house kitchen, so you don’t have to leave to eat.

Riptide Brewing Company, Bonita Springs

Riptide started in Naples and now runs everything from 28120 Hunters Ridge Boulevard in Bonita Springs. The taproom is roomy by design, with space to spread out at a table and a lineup of pinball machines that hosts a league and tournaments.

It opens at 3pm Monday through Thursday and at noon Friday through Sunday, staying open until 10pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and closing at 8pm on Sunday.

Bone Hook Brewing Co., Immokalee Road

Bone Hook is a brewery and restaurant at 1514 Immokalee Road in North Naples. You can book a table through OpenTable, which helps on a Saturday with a group.

Its featured beers on the site right now include:

  • 1776 Liberty Lager
  • Grateful Head, a laid-back lager
  • Gulfshore IPA
  • Wicked Seas Hazy IPA
  • Hopical Storm and Island Breeze

Bone Hook also takes private parties, if your tour is really a birthday or a work outing.

Hopsized Brewing Co., Bonita Springs

Hopsized is the one to drive north for, at 9201 Cockleshell Court in Bonita Springs. Everything is brewed on a 3.5-barrel electric system with reverse-osmosis water, according to the brewery.

The lineup on its site runs from lagers and Kölsch to IPAs, stouts and fruited sours. Its Visit page lists the taproom as closed Monday and Tuesday, open from 3pm Wednesday to Friday and from noon on weekends, with an early 5pm close on Sunday.

How to order the stops

Start where the hours start. Ankrolab, Riptide and Hopsized all open at noon on Saturday, which makes it the easiest day for a full loop. On weekdays none of the three pours before 3pm, and Hopsized stays shut on Monday and Tuesday.

On a Sunday, put Hopsized first or skip it, because it closes at 5pm. Ankrolab and Riptide both close at 8pm that day.

A north to south route keeps the backtracking down:

• Hopsized and Riptide, both in Bonita Springs

• Bone Hook on Immokalee Road, where dinner can be booked ahead

• Ankrolab on Bayshore Drive to finish, if the beer garden is still open

Got a spare morning before the first pour? Pick something from these day trips from Naples, Florida and still reach the first taproom by mid-afternoon.

Sorting out the drive home

Four stops across two cities means a lot of time in a car. Someone has to be sober for all of it, or nobody drives.

A rideshare between each stop works for a couple. Six friends would need two cars to cover the route, and a brewery tour car service is one way groups cover the stops without anyone driving.

Settle who’s paying for the car before the day. Several of the road trip budgeting mistakes people make apply just as well to a group outing.

A few things to check before you go

Hours shift with the season, so recheck all four sites the week you go. Hopsized puts an over-21 check right on its homepage, and you should expect the same at the bar, so have everyone carry ID.
