Bio:
Intrigued by a craft steeped in history and imbued with a character that defied prohibition, years of experience ‘behind the stick’ have earned Keith Trusler a reputation for quenching the palates—and thirsts—of his many regulars as well as the out-of-town visitors.
The bar manager at Blue Water Cafe, Keith’s relentless devotion to sourcing the finest premium spirits and ingredients has led to a neatly-balanced cocktail list that pays homage to the classics of the past while showcasing newer innovations.
Keith also oversees one of the country’s most impressive collections of scotch whiskies with over 170 labels—including 125 aged and rare single malts—and is up-the-minute on new artisanal releases of elusive gin, vodka, sake and bourbon offerings.
