Riptide Brewing Company

Riptide Brewing Company is a brewery in Bonita Springs, Florida. It is a female, family-owned and operated business that began in Naples before opening a second location in Bonita Springs. The taproom pours handcrafted craft beer and seasonal brews, and the kitchen side of the operation is built around food truck events. Pinball machines fill the taproom, and the brewery runs pinball tournaments through the year alongside fundraising events for causes it supports. Beer is available to take home in cans and growlers, and the space can be booked for private events and parties. The brewery holds a rating of 4.50 based on 281 reviews.

The Bonita Springs location is where Riptide runs its distribution, out of a 15 BBL, 3 vessel Deutsche Brewhouse, with beer canned on a Cask Canning Line. The company was born in Naples on a 10 BBL, 2 vessel Brewfab Brewhouse. In 2024, Riptide sold the original Naples location to a long-time friend and local brewing veteran; that site is now home to Kaleidoscope Brewing Company. The Bonita Springs taproom is described as big on purpose, with room to spread out at a table with friends or hang out at the bar, and the team of beer aficionados there keeps inventing and creating new brews. No two weeks at the taproom are the same.

The brewery sits on Hunters Ridge Blvd, about 0.2 miles from Bonita Beach Road Southeast. Cullum's Bonita Trail and Bonita Nature Place are both within roughly half a mile, as are Hunters Ridge Golf and Country Club and the Imperial River. Pine Lake Preserve is about 0.7 miles away.

Riptide Brewing Company has built a solid reputation among the customers it has served, with an established track record resting on a large base of customer reviews. It stays involved in its community by supporting local businesses, charities, and organizations.

For craft beer drinkers in Bonita Springs, Riptide Brewing Company pairs a working brewhouse and canning line with a taproom built for pinball, food trucks, and gatherings.
