3 Floyds Brewing Co.

 

 

 

Due to covid my narrative will be skewed. Location was easy to find and had lots of parking. Beer selection is outstanding and service was top notch. Unfortunately I could not try food. I hope to go back after covid for full experience.

 

 

 

Metal playing, graphic novel type art all over the place. All the staff are wearing and tatted up. It has this underground outlaw feel to the place. Then there are all of these rules that just kinda blows all of that away. If you want to get a flight there are pre-set flights and the staff will not budge on that. The kicker on this is the pre-set flight include all of the beers that you have most likely already had. The beers that are only in the taproom are not included. They are not big on any substitutions on the menu either.

 

 

This place has a reputation for being off-putting; I'd say if you don't act like a dick, you won't be treated like a dick.

That said, it's a bit cramped, the music is super loud and it can be a bit much.

However, the food's good enough not to care. Just don't take your parents here.

 

 

Vibe: Perfect. Doesn’t feel like you’re in a brewery, but rather a metal bar. Grunget, in a good way.

Food: On point. Had the fries and cheese curds to start. Ramen as an entree. The best ramen I’ve ever had. The noodles tasted homemade. They were dense and starchy. Really impressed with the food.

Selection: Very good selection. I was in the mood for a stout which they did not have, but they everything else under the sun including sours, IPA’s, lager, Oktoberfest, scotch ale.

Quality: Everything was on point. The food was excellent, as were the beers. It was great to try staples like Zombie Dust and Gumballhead on tap. The best pours of either I’ve ever had.

I hope I get the chance to return.

Best beers from Indiana!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark Lord Day 2018 was an amazing (once in a lifetime) experience! Thousands of beer lovers sharing beers from across the US and hoping to snag the Handjee and other variants. Due to event, I am not able to rate what appears to be a small tap room on property.

I live an hour away from this location and Id be willing to drive here at least twice a month to dabble in its festivities.

 

 

 

 

 

I attended a trade conference in Chicago, so I extended my trip and made my way to Munster, Indiana. This side trip has exceeded my expectations. There's a new hotel near the brewery next to a new park and golf course. There are nice restaurants nearby. I even made my first visit to a White Castle.

Of course, Three Floyds is the main reason I came to Munster. I walked to the brewpub which was located in an industrial park right under the water tower. There was a huge production facility next to their brewpub. The hostess and server were very friendly and welcoming.

The space was smaller than I expected, but they had plenty of tables and seating at the bar. I had some tasters, and they were very nice.

I enjoyed my visit very much!

 

Visiting from Edmonton - July 2018 visit - a Sunday (post Willow Creek Community Church beforehand). Busy already at noon but seated as 2 immediately at bar. Great selection of hop forward beers - less so if you are not hip fan (I am). Bartender super friendly and helpful - had 5 5 oz pours for two of us - prompt and delicious pub food at reasonable price. Honestly metal music not my thing but seemed appropriate for the overall feel of the place and not teeth rattling loud.
The shop is a little small but well stocked and again friendly service. Overall great - would go back any time.

Best brewery in Indiana, hands down.

Stopped in on July 1 during a cross-country trip from Oregon to Maryland. I had heard good things about them, and may have even had one of their beers once, not sure about that. Anyhow, this is now my favorite brewpub. The beers are varied and outstanding, the atmosphere is friendly and laid back, and the vibe is kind of Hoosier Metal. My only regret is that I ate before going there, so I can't comment on their kitchen from experience. The menu looked nice, however, and regulars who were in attendance assured me that the food was excellent. I just joined Beer Advocate a few minutes ago so I could leave this review. If you're ever close to Chicago, Three Floyds is definitely worth a side trip, especially if you like uncompromising beers.
