The Must-Have Beers in Southwest Florida

A craft beer connoisseur gives his picks.

Hundreds of beers are being brewed locally—it’s understandable if it’s hard to figure out where to begin. So, we asked Ricky Potts. By day, Potts works in marketing in Naples. By night (and some days, we suppose), he’s a beer connoisseur. By the count on the Untapped app, he’s tried 10,000 different beers, one of the few online to do so. Here’s his list of the must-have beers at his favorite local spots.
