Hops Brewpub in Fort Myers, FL

Stopped in this place last week. I was exhausted and needed to refuel myself before I continued on my way home. Not bad stuff at all. Had a Brown Nut Ale that was pretty tasty, and washed it down with a combo beer - they mixed 50/50 of the Hammerhead Red and Clearwater Light.
I plan to return there and try the sampler, but only when I have my driver (SWMBO) with me!
The Brown was pretty good. A lot like Newcastle. So much so that I'd have to put them side by side to really compare them intelligently.
The combo was a little hoppier than I expected. I'm not sure if it was the red or the light, but one of them tasted more like an American Pale Ale than a red or a golden light ale. Not bad, but not what I was expecting, really.
Great Ahi tuna appetizer and the smells from the kitchen were wonderful. Nice group of local beer lovers at the bar.
Overall, really enjoyed the experience and I will certainly be back.
