Big Flavors at Little Giant Brewery

If you asked for Little Giant’s take on the subject, it would try and tell you that it’s a “fledgling brewery in the beer frontier of Southwest Florida,” but a sip or two of its lovely brews would let ya know there ain’t nothin’ fledgling about this craft brewery. In fact, just a couple of months ago, Little Giant poured at The Lucky Dog Beer Festival, where a patron declared, “It tastes like I’m skipping through a field of flowers on a mountaintop with my best friend.” So, yeah, that’s that.

The Brewery itself has been under construction and plans on opening its doors any day now, allowing beer lovers and newbies alike to imbibe a selection of Little Giant’s brews, like its traditional Dusseldorf-style Alt Bier and its Dry Stout. Folks can set up shop in the tasting room or even bring their loyal pups to hang out in the onsite dog park. “All beasts are welcome,” Little Giant says, “except pythons and rabid hyenas.” Forego your hyenas folks, and swing on by for a round or two of Billabock Maibock or Overlord Black IPA.
