Wandering Goat event at Riptide Brewing features free pinball play

Grumpy Goat Coffee’s next Wandering Goat event is Saturday, June 27, 3 - 7 p.m. at Riptide Brewing, 28120 Hunters Ridge Blvd, Bonita Springs. The event continues a new direction for the annual Wandering Goat summer series, shifting the focus of the popular community events toward building awareness about the Bonita Estero Rail Trail (BERT) initiative. Golf Cart Monkey is sponsoring all day free play on Riptide’s twenty pinball tables. Three craft coffee beer collaborations between Riptide and Grumpy Goat will be available. Grumpy is a coffee blonde ale using Grumpy Goat’s Colombian dark roast beans; Before the Sun is a coffee amber lager conditioned on Grumpy Goat’s Mexican dark roast beans; and Polar Night is Nitro Coffee Irish Stout using Grumpy Goat’s Ethiopian dark roast beans. The event is open to the public. Attendees can meet their local master coffee roaster, craft brewer and other artisan food and beverage experts in a casual, family and pet friendly setting. Additional exhibitors include The Hoppy Homestead, Kristi’s Key Lime Cookies, Olde Naples Chocolate, and Granny-O-La. Event questions can be submitted at grumpygoat.com.
