Episode 542 - Kevin Shanks, Troubled Waters Brewing

Happy Monday, Thieves! Troubled Waters Brewing was founded by a father and son duo, Steve and Kevin Shanks. While both grew up in Chicago, they have strong family roots in Safety Harbor, FL. Kevin’s Great Aunt moved to Safety Harbor in the 60s when she built a house. She was involved in the local community and even sold the Chamber of Commerce building to the Chamber. Kevin’s Grandparents often visited her, and when they retired, they purchased a house down the street from her. Steve and Kevin have personally been visiting Safety Harbor for more than 30 years. Around 2009 Steve moved to Safety Harbor after retiring and Kevin made the jump in 2016. After some time working in the Cigar City tasting room, Kevin and Steve decided to set out on their own and open up Troubled Waters Brewing Company. They are now five years into the project.

Kevin joins the show this week as we once again record from the swanky bar inside the Hotel Karol and he brings some real gems for the black glass. Thanks to Visit St. Pete-Clearwater for hosting us in the area and the Hotel Karol for lodging and excellent breakfast potatoes.
