Crooked Thumb Brewery

Great brewery, wonderful staff in the taproom and overall just a perfect relaxed vibe. They boast some quality craft beer & they do not disappoint.Huge plus is they have two brewery cars that are super sweet. Cats & Craft Beer

Crooked Thumb is the most well-known brewery in Safety Harbor. Position just a couple blocks south of Main Street, CT has a large fenced, lit back yard area with picnic tables and a large stage. There is also plenty of seating in the industrial looking inside area. The tap list is always quite extensive and filled with a variety of ales and lagers. Many of the beers are quite good though I've never had anything that was truly astounding. All in all, a solid brewery in a cool setting.

We attended the Campfire S'mores, pre-Thanksgiving fun night. We arrived a bit early, but too late for a seat ANYWHERE. Luckily, the line was short, and we quickly got a Frosty Nibs, and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Stout. The Frosty Nibs is a Chocolate Peppermint Bark brew that is super refreshing, and makes you feel like you're hanging out on the snowy slopes, even in the FL heat! It's reminiscent of a frozen peppermint hot chocolate, and is perfect for winters in FL. The Chocolate PB Oatmeal Stout was thick without being thick, and tasted peanut buttery without the stuck tongue! Delicious brews that hit the spot! On this night, they had free S'mores in the backyard. The marshmallows were HUGE and the sticks super long - perfect for toasting/roasting without getting too close to the heat. They were delish, and the guys behind the table (and behind the bar) super friendly and helpful. Good band and good friends made it a great evening!My only regret was not having a chair, as it became totally packed fast. The only thing I could suggest to make it better was having more people behind the bar, as lines quickly became super long, and we would have had more beers if the wait wasn't so long. Yup. These beers are that good!

Service was good, ambiance simple and great. More of an experience! Their craft brews were mostly good... most of the stouts were very sweet and dessert like. Their most plain stout was my favorite. Outdoor stage was awesome, and entertainment was great - absolutely the best part of our visit!

Limited gf options, but the courtesy water is nice and cold! If you are allergic to cats, wash your hands often they roam freely here. Have been here a few times and the gf options were...Vizzy, and another flavor of Vizzy as well as courtesy water lol

While in Safety Harbor...check it out. HOWEVER, depending upon the time of year you might want to stay inside. (more on that later) When going to a brewery you are there for the beer. Needless to say a "WIDE" variety of beer.My wife who loves IPA had "Shade Tree", a West Coast IPA. It was very good but not "great".From looking at Yelp prior to getting here someone posted about a "Girl Scout Flight" that were 4 stouts similar to their cookies. They said it was limited time but they were VERY GOOD. (picture attached)Outside...not so much. A VERY LARGE beer garden. A beautiful day and wanted to experience it but we had to move inside. First of all, the tables and chairs were full of pollen, leaves and little mini worms hanging from the trees. Brewery staff didn't seem to care. They did nothing to wipe tables and chairs down. It was very disappointing as it was a beautiful day and we had to go inside. Inside was ok but nothing special. Bottom line...a very nice brewery but needs to pay attention to detail.

Crooked Thumb is always on the list of breweries to go to in Tampa Bay so I finally decided to check it out for myself. Here are my ratings based on different criteria:Quality of beer: Crooked Thumb has a great selection of beers. There's stouts, porters, red ales, and a few sours. There's even a wine selection. I tried the Smores Imperial Stout and Shady Tree IPA. Both beers were very fresh and delicious and tasted exactly how they should.Décor: Modern. The brewery feels modern and could easily be mistaken for a place in Hyde Park. There are wooden panels everywhere that bring a nice chill vibe.Cleanliness: No complaints. All the tables and floor were kept clean and sticky-free.Service: Friendly. They were happy to let you sample as many beers as you wanted before picking a favorite.Price: more than typical. I typically expect breweries to charge $6 for a pint of an IPA. I feel that Crooked charged a little bit more than the typical.If you want some great beers, live music, and a huge outdoor area to hangout then Crooked Thumb is the place to be in Safety Harbor.

What an awesome spot for a brewery. It is definitely off the beaten path, but it has greatIndoor and outdoor seating. We were only there for one round, but they have a stage and a band was setting up, and they had a vendor under a good tent. It was their anniversary, so they were busy. With all the room it didn't feel crowded and there were plenty of staff to help guide you through their beers. When we are in the area again, we will definitely go back!

Fun, lovely beer garden patio area, games behind the bar. Ask to play! A great spot for day drinking and families are welcome.

Went to crooked thumb for their berry beer festival. $40 all you can drink with lots of local breweries offering samples. It rained but the event was still a lot of fun. They had 2 food trucks and live music. I'd go again on an ordinary night but parking can be tricky. Pro tip: There's a local park about a block away. Park there and walk over avoid a ticket or tow.
