Our Story

Crooked Thumb Brewery owes it’s name to Pinellas County, which has been said to “hang off the west coast of Florida like a crooked thumb.” We decided on the name not only because of it’s reference to the geographic shape of the county but also its more literal reference to a uniquely shaped hand. We make hand crafted ales and we strive to do it in a fresh and unique way. We value alternative thinking and welcome anyone who, like a crooked thumb, sticks out.

When searching for a home for the brewery, there really was only one choice – the city of Safety Harbor. With it’s laid-back, small town charm, abundance of independently owned shops and restaurants and gorgeous bay-side location, it provides the perfect setting. We are excited to be a part of this community and provide a place where residents and visitors can gather, relax and enjoy.
