Grumpy Goat Coffee’s next Wandering Goat event is Saturday, July 25, 3 - 7 p.m. at Chubby Mermaid Brewing, 28292 Industrial Rd. #1, 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.

The event is open to the public.

Additional exhibitors include Pansardo Italian Food Specialties, The Hoppy Homestead, Kristi’s Key Lime Cookies, Olde Naples Chocolate, Bombshell Hot Sauce and Bailey’s Beer Biscuits.

Grumpy Goat Coffee is a specialty roastery that sells fresh roasted, fully traceable, single origin gourmet grade coffee from most of the world's top growing regions. Chubby Mermaid Brewing Company is a veteran owned startup microbrewery and brewpub in Bonita Springs. Friends of the Bonita Estero Rail Trail (BERT) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and advance the BERT greenway as a conserved natural corridor with a connected multi-use trail.

For the past four years, the Wandering Goat series has been known for bringing together local food and beverage artisans to offer complimentary tastings while driving summer traffic to small businesses during the quieter off-season. In 2026, the series will take on a broader civic purpose - serving as a platform to inform, engage, and mobilize Bonita Springs residents around funding a transformative community project. This year’s Wandering Goat events will spotlight BERT’s mission to convert 11.4 miles of inactive Seminole Gulf Railway corridor into a multi-use walking and biking trail.
