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.” The brewery opened to the public in October 2015. The tasting room is a creative restoration of a warehouse built in 1963 that was previously an auto body and paint shop. The 6,000 square foot space is located just two blocks off Main St. in Safety Harbor, FL. The brewery houses a 15 barrel brew system with an offering of 15-20 beers on tap in the tasting room. Beer is distributed to the local market in kegs and special bottle releases.

Crooked Thumb’s tasting room is a comfortable, laid-back space to sample beers and gather with friends. Much of the building’s original character remains. The bar and seating area feature views of the production area as well as the adjacent beer garden. With a canopy of trees overhead, the garden is a space with live music, yard games and seasonal events. Local food vendors serve a selection of foods on weekends.
