Description
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.

Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2018, hosted by Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp. Dark brown color, small beige head. Aroma is toohpaste. Flavor is toothpaste and maybe a hint of malts an chocolate in the distance. Awful. Why, for gods sake why.

12 oz can bought in St Pete, FL. Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a white head and fair retention. No lacing. Citrus nose. Crisp mouthfeel. Medium body. Pretty typical pilsner profile with a sharp finish and light bitterness. Unremarkable but good.

Bomber from the brewery, release wknd, kinda pricey 16$ for the end result. Brune foncée, col crémeux café au lait. Arôme met de suite les choses au point avec un fort effet spearmint ponctué par un léger chocolaté et rétro de cookie. Malt est là mais tout est dominé par l'effet de menthe. Palais est similaire et de suite une attaque buccale du spearmint qui est assez fort. Plaisant par moment, l'effet devient vite submergeant tant il est fort. Cela diminue pas mal le caractère de la bière qui garde une bonne note maltée, caramel, biscuité, cookie oreo avec une petite vanille qui est aussi plutôt en retrait. Chocolaté sur effet cacao revient sur la fin, dommage, ok mais trop de menthe.

Thank you Sebletitje! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2018). Black, mocha head. Nose is straight up spearmint toothpaste. Taste is just peppermint, spearmint, chocolate, glue, spearmint chewing gum, peppermint toothpaste,.. Rather thin bodied chocolate syrup. There is no getting around the massive spearmint / peppermint taste of this thing – this is just a flavour profile that I think you need to have grown up with as a kid otherwise no. Cacao nibs & vanilla is completely lost.

Pretty cloudy red brown beer, small irregular beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: oh fuck, that's a lot of tooth paste, mentos and tick-tacks... MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very minty, lots of chocolate as well, alcohol, soft roast, super minty. Aftertaste: more chocolate, very minty, not as bad as I had feared...

Draft @ Crooked Thumb. Dorée sur léger trouble, col blanc crémeux. Arôme au nez frais de grains concassés, pointe de fruité fermenté au niveau des houblons tirant sur le tropical et léger agrumes avec une pointe orange en rétro-nasal. Palais est épais avec cet ajout du seigle, le tout avec une petite note épicée du grains, houblonné plaisant, léger sur les agrumes, fruit à peau blanche, petite note ester? avec un fini léger collant aux lèvres.

Draft @ Crooked Thumb. Brune foncée, col fin beige. Arôme est léger de malts grillés avec un rétro nasal marqué de peanut butter sans tomber dans l'excès. Le tout revient sur des pointes de pâle et caramel, amertume et houblonné plutôt discret. Palais est léger malté, caramel, pâle voire crystal, peanut butter reste modéré et apporte une bonne tournure à la bière. Petite note de grillé en fin de bouche, reste léger au palais.

Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Hazy yellow color with a thin white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lace. Citrus, wheat and malt aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of salty citrus, wheat and bready malt. The finish is tart with a citrusy aftertaste. Decent overall.
