I figured since 3 Floyd's Brewing is not really open to the public, per se. And the Dark Lord Day is its own entity I would specifically review it on its own merits. I must preface by saying I have wanted to do this event for a long, long time. But alas work has made it nearly impossible to do. Time becomes a commodity as you get older. It's do or die. The latter is inevitable. Not knowing how this festival works I studied Yelp reviews. I joined a DLD Facebook to find helpful tips. Both were extremely helpful. It is basically a musical festival, a giant bottle share and people dressed as warlocks all in one. There are three levels of admission: VIP Deluxe, GA and one with just for the concert. Depending on your budget each has it pros and cons. Me, my suggestion is to get the VIP Deluxe. It is crazy expensive and goes fast. However, I believe it is the best option. So I got the regular GA, which is $200 hundred bucks. You get 4 DLD variant stouts and admission to the concert. Maybe to the casual festival goer this will seem alot. Once you get here you will experience something unique. A week or two before the event happens they mail you wristbands. Do not put them on. There is a QR Code which you have to attach a credit card to. It is a cashless event. It's just like the Sail and Sign on a Cruise Ship in theory. As you buy drinks, merch or food you use the wristband to pay for them. A quick few pro-tips. Do not bring lawn chairs. Know that you are going to stand most of the time. Before I go on, let me rewind a bit. The parking situation is not dire but get there as early as you can. Local businesses offer parking for $20 bucks. We were able to find parking within walking distance to the festival. Here came the kicker for me, they had a guy doing a DLD tailgate party. It's like a normal tailgating party but with free to sample beers. He had things I have only heard of in tales of lore. My next pro-tip is to bring a small plastic sample glass. Once you arrive staff is there to put on your wristbands for you. And they check all ID'S. You are allowed to bring in some beer and an unopened bottle of water. Bring the water! I will say the logistics and mechanics of it run really smoothly. The staff are extremely super friendly and helpful. Having only seen 3 Floyd's in pictures it is more vast than I had imagined. Every nook and cranny was filled with something of interest. There were tap spaces everywhere. Vendors. Food trucks. In the center of it all was a Viking Court, with the largest bottle share I have ever seen. They had a thing called, "The Wheel of Death." For twenty-five bucks you spin a wheel similar to "Wheel of Fortune." You can win beer, merch or even your name etched onto a keg. I thought about doing it but the wait was already a couple of hours in. Most of your time here will be spent standing in line for something. For beer. Food. Restrooms. The merch lines were insane. Fortunately for you when this happen there are lots of people dying to share their brought in beer. I will say a great deal of the drinks I had were from beer sharers. For the most part festival goers were friendly. However, there is finite seating here. Which makes the VIP Deluxe option more enticing. After a while I wanted to sit somewhere. Since seating is sparce I saw groups monopolizing available benches. For example a bench that could fit ten people was instead filled with 3 harboring stuff. You would eye a bench and people would place a hat, a bag to prevent you from sitting with them. I get it. My biggest critique is that they need to let festival goers bring in folding chairs. For example I saw people in various stages of drunkenness: stumbling or even passed out. Letting people bring in folding chairs would allow them to cool down. It would also create a more laid back vibe. It certainly has the space to do so. Quickly before I write more volumes the musical entertainment is extreme metal. The dance floor is filled with moshers and headbangers. If you are expecting bossa nova jazz you will be disappointed. By and large I did enjoy this event. Will I recommend it to someone? Absolutely. Will I do it again? Probably not. It's a young person's world now. The Dark Lord Day is a very, very unique experience. And I believe we should fill our lives with them. Was that a dude dressed as a wizard at the festival or was it in fact Gandalf? After a few stouts you won't know the difference. read more

I returned here with the son on 5-18-2024 for 2024's Dark Lord Day.  It was actually the first time I've made it here for the annual and coveted event as the only other time I came for Dark Lord was with him for an atypical Covid era pickup only event. The event is pretty pricey and it's definitely a beer geek special as it costs $200 for admission plus rights to a tote bag containing one 2024 Dark Lord and three Dark Lord variant bombers (each 22 oz).  This year was the 20th anniversary Dark Lord Day and they've been doing it for a long time and it's very organized, at least as far as making sure you're credentialed for admittance.  It will still cost $15 - $30 to park nearby, but they do have some shuttle buses to remote parking locations.  We got there at 9am for our pre-purchased Group A designated time slot but later in the day, there will be more people, with more lines for everything, including the few foodstands on site.  I can't imagine any lines for port-o-potties though as there were millions of those and that's a good thing.  Heavy metal bands were scheduled to play from 1:30pm to 8pm, but we didn't stay for any of that.  I just had a nice 4 oz serving of the 2024 Dark Lord (for $10) while we were there and then we left with the goods.  We stood briefly in a line next to a couple that flew in from San Jose CA just for the event.  One staffer also told me a guy came in from Italy supposedly just for this event.  I really did enjoy the people-watching of these quite serious beer geeks, and that was probably the real highlight of visiting in person on this special day.  My only advice if you're going to a Dark Lord Day for any length of time on a sunny day is to bring a hat, sun screen, and a designated driver! read more

Love their beers! Sadly the taproom is closed and has been since 2020! I'd love to come back when it's open (hopefully it does re-open). The retail portion of the brewery is open where you can buy beer, merch and some other goodies. read more

Drive 3 hours away to come here to find out that they no longer have a bar or restaurant. All because they won't update their google page. Very disappointed. Was told I don't know how to update google read more

No way to contact them for bulk product or food items. They remodeled but are not customer sensitive.

This brewery slipped passed my attention that I experienced for some time before writing a review. Not so sure how that happened but as soon as I noticed it I wanted to get a review posted before it got overlooked again. I have had 3 Floyd's a couple of times. Both the same beer, one of their mainstays the Alpha King. A Pale Ale that was pretty good. I had no complaints with it but wasn't exactly the most memorable one I have had wandering through the country and going to craft breweries. It had a decent maltiness blended with sweetness and with touches of citrus this beer was enjoyable on both occasions and was always refreshing. But sometimes with breweries I like the merchandise or "merch" more than the beer and I think I may need to go in that direction here but exploring their other beers I might have had a different take on it. Yes, I am all about the swag with this brewery. Their store has a great variety of things from the usual items like t shirts and hoodies to less obligatory things like socks, patches and koozies. But what is so super amazing here is that the brewery seems to have or had it's own comic book line which looks like it's based on their Alpha King character associated with their pale ale. Art looks great and I will have to go purchase it on the next pay day. I am a total comic nerd so I have little hesitation that I won't like the comic which has a total of five issues. I have been to comic themed breweries before (Odd 13 Brewing in Colorado comes first to mind) but never ones with their own comic which definitely adds to the coolness level. The brewery's themes on logos I really like as well as there are gothic or metal aspects to it like on their t shirts and hoodies. Some designs remind me of some of Motorhead's logos but perhaps that's only because I listened to them the night before writing this review. read more

3 Floyds Brewing - The Alpha King Pale Ale from 3 Floyd's Brewing. - Breweries Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Gone downhill big tyme... This review is for the closed up tap-room/brewery. It's not worth the stop, nothing to see.. And I was lectured by the staff-boy on who, what, when, where, why and how their profits were made from beer sales. Hence, closing up of tap-room. The place use to be cool, with the tap room, restaurant, etc.. Take a look at the other world class breweries in the country, they do sales, they have a tap room, food etc... Make the environment enjoyable, not a depressing drag. (covid is over btw.. no more covid excuses) Heady Topper, Tree House, Odell, Allagash, Pliny... all much, much better and they know how to make an enjoyable environment for customers. read more

In full disclosure: I am ONLY reviewing the 2020 Dark Lord Day/experience for this review - and hope to update it once we can get rid of this COVID crap and actually EXPERIENCE the brewery/food. With that said, one of my silver linings for COVID is that Dark Lord Day was ALL done online in October this year! No camping out, no lines, none of that. Hoooooray for this old girl not having to endure that! Once the day/release arrived online, the ordering process should have been easier than it was (DarkLordDay.com redirects you strangely on a cell phone) - but once I got to a regular computer it was a little easier. Of note, you HAD to pick out your pick up date/time at the time you place your order - so planning ahead is needed. I got our 4 bottles of DL plus one variant (assigned at random), picked my pick up date, and submitted the order. Easy. Day of pick up - I realized (DUH) that they are an hour behind us - and I had to work at my local brewery the same day. Enter me getting up early and jetting up to get my bottles before jetting back to work. Once I arrived, they had tractor trailers set up in the gravel lot with lines for cars to drive up and get their bottles. The nice gal checked me in - I had to show my confirmation number given at time of ordering and my ID. She then went to the truck, grabbed a bag of bottles, and I was off! Of course, I had to pull through the line and go off to the side to see what variant I got before taking off. I got the Sacred Sword of Jövan! Hooooray! One wish: I do wish we could have had a socially distanced space designated for a little show and tell/bottle swap somewhere as a part of this, as I would have LOVED to lay eyes on one of the other 11 variants, too - just to oooooh and ahhhh at them. Overall - If getting these bottles is this easy in the future, count this old gal in! Now to decide whom to gift these gorgeous bottles to and if I should drink them now or cellar them... hmmm.... :) read more

I made my mother-in-law's dreams come true when I suggested having dinner at Three Floyds. I hadn't been since summer 2016, and I learned two things on this visit: (01) 3 Floyds uses Yelp waitlist, which is super helpful in seeing your place in line and the parties that are in front of you. (02) While you wait, you are not allowed to grab a pint from the bar, nor are you allowed to wait inside the restaurant. Rather, your option is to wait in the small entrance just outside of the restaurant, the parking lot, or to join a brewery tour that takes place on the :30 several times throughout the day. We had just missed the last brewery tour of the day (5:30 PM on a Saturday), so we stood in the tiny entrance and shuffled around as people came in and out of the restaurant. Once there was a table available to us, things went pretty smoothly. Our server was great, I enjoyed having smaller pours of beers that aren't typically on tap or in bottles, and my chile relleno smothered calzone was ginormous and tasty. While I know I would return again to the brewpub, I'm more inclined to come during a warmer month or at an off-peak time of day. read more

This is a good brewery in Indiana that makes a few good beers. I went to a party and they had three different beers from 3 Floyd's and they were all really good. I enjoyed the zombie dust the best but the were all solid beers for sure read more

Nice lunch stop on our way to Chicago from Indy. The menu is diverse and interesting. We all had several fights and different items. For a shared app we had the scotch eggs and the cheese curds. I had the ramen and thought it was decent. Apparently, so did my friend because she almost finished it off. The sandwich selections were good. My boyfriend had the pork tenderloin which was pretty spectacular. read more

Probably one of the most interesting menus I have ever seen at a brewery. They had banh mi and ramen?! I have never been to Indiana but I'm really glad my friend suggested this place to me. Four of my friends ordered the bone marrow aioli burger and I'm really glad we did because it was so tasty and satisfying. The burger was huge and the fries were the best they came fully seasoned with garlic butter. My other friend wanted the banh mi but they were unfortunately out of ingredients so he ordered the pepperoni pizza instead. That has to be the most gourmet delicious pepperoni pizza ever with pickled vegetables. The dough was thick and tasty. The pepperoni was huge and flavorful. I didn't try the beer but my friends seemed to enjoy their drinks so really glad we got to try this place. The food here is amazing. The staff is also really helpful in helping decide what to eat. I wanted to try the ramen but the waiter suggested the burger and I'm glad I listened to his suggestion. read more

3 Floyds Brewing - Bone marrow aioli burger - Breweries Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Some really great beers here, food on the average side I'd say. Dropped in recently for a dinner while road-tripping for college visits. I love the music they seemed to be playing non-stop...not for everyone however, as it is pretty hard. It was later in the evening on a Sunday, so not very busy and the service was attentive and pleasant. My daughter did our normal shtick...order several dishes and share them all! We needed veggies, so we ordered their version of a side salad along with an appetizer and a main dish. The side salad has some interesting greens and veggies (like jicama), but the dressing was super-tangy. I love a tangy dressing, but this one was hard to take after about half the salad. The tempura cheese curds were pretty good, but overly filling due to the cheesy, fried nature of the dish. The pile was so high, it was overflowing the dish! The spicy aioli dressing on top went really well with the deep fried nuggets...it was almost too much of a good thing. Best dish (of the three) was the coffee dry-rubbed chicken drums served over pickled watermelon. These drumsticks had a unusual flavor due to the coffee rub, but it was addictive and with the moist chicken made for some great bites. Overall, I'd come for the beer first, food second. Plenty of different beer styles to choose from, whether it be from their own taps or from the beer "guest list". Enjoy! read more

Beer, Gastronomical Food and...Death Metal!!!! I stopped into 3 Floyds last year after hearing about it numerous times from colleagues in Northern Indiana. I first went there during the day to scout it out for a business dinner, it just happened to be quieter while I was there. As luck would have it, I met Dave at the bottle shop. He let me know that Bend Both Knees APA was being taken out of rotation so I was able to get a few bottles of that and LazerSnake. I came back later to have dinner, and what a change when the bar is full. The music is non-stop mind-numbing Death Metal and it's cranked, so be wary if that not your cup of tea. Its a good thing this is a brewpub since when people have a few beers in them they tend to speak louder. After a while, the music really isn't an issue. We were served by the lovely girl you wanna take home to meet the family, Morgan a Goth Goddess. She was funny cool and a great server who took very good care of us, and helped our table with the food offerings. My choices that night were the Elote or Mexican style corn, the insanely good burnt ends, and the phenomenally tender smoked Pork loin. I can't even remember what beers I had but since I wasn't driving, I went for flavour and strength with my selections. The Elote was a great little refreshing dish, the Burnt Ends were well, burnt, but only slightly on the outside for flavour, and the smoked Pork Lion was perfect, as it is lean meat, but slowly simmered so as to keep the moisture intact. Keep in mind, like most brewpubs​ they change up the menu so you may not be able to get one of the dishes I tried. Three Floyds is legendary, and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. I've been to a few of the local brewpubs and they all have their uniqueness. I do recommend the beer and the food and be wary, it's loud at dinner but that doesn't stop the place from being packed. read more

I admit -- I wasn't a huge fan of Three Floyds at first. It seemed like all of their beers were different takes on pale ales, and hops for hops' sake are not my thing. Then from what I heard from my husband, a Three Floyds fan who has eaten at the brew pub several times, the brew pub has blaring heavy metal in a DGAF kind of way. And while both of these things are true, I can now appreciate the fact that FFF is more than that. And I even like it. My husband and I visited over the weekend when we were passing through on our way home from Chicago. The brew pub is in an industrial park, which after visiting several breweries, was a sign we were in for something good. There is some outdoor seating, and then when you walk in ... yes ... the heavy metal is blaring. *insert devil horn hands here* The hostess was polite, and told us that if we wanted to be served immediately, our best bet was the bar. I typically don't like eating at bars, but I think this gave us a better view of FFF, which I'll get to in a sec. My husband started with a beer. I started with not a beer -- actually a ginger beer -- because bun in oven and all of that. I will say, though, that I have gotten to try their hefeweizen before, and it's pretty delightful. FFF can do more than hops. And then for food, we went with the cheese curds, but these weren't your average curds. These were tempura-fried with a kimchi aioli and pickled peppers. The tempura made them lighter, and I loved the aioli. A new take on something standard seems to be FFF's thing, which became apparent through the rest of our meal. For my dinner, I got the beef pho, a somewhat new addition to the menu. We originally came to FFF because I heard my husband brag about the ramen so much. Unfortunately, that wasn't on the new seasonal menu; pho was the soup instead. So I got that. And this pho was different than other pho I've had. It was more herby than normal. I think it's a bit heavy on the five spice powder, which with the star anise and fennel in five spice gave it a touch of licorice. This wasn't a bad thing -- just complex in a different way. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked, and the beef had a great flavor too. This pho also comes with a giant dollop of chili paste on top, but it really doesn't need it. I scooped it off, and the pho was plenty spicy without it. My husband opted for the grilled trout sandwich. That's not something I would normally order, but getting a few tastes of his, I would definitely get this on a return visit. And sitting behind the bar, we got to see a bit of how the staff interacts. Everyone seemed to be close and works together well, which is nice to see. The main bartender, who may have been a manager as well, was courteous and quick to take our order or get my husband another beer. He also made it a point of asking us what we thought of the pho, since it was a new menu item that they were trying out. This leads me to think that the atmosphere is not DGAF but just genuine, "this is who we are." I feel a bit jaded by restaurants that flout their crazy music choices and going-against-the-norm attitude because a lot of times, these places have terrible service and never listen to the customers. They're all about the food as an art form, and customers are merely the peons they have to deal with to keep the lights on. That's not how it was at FFF. Yes, there is an individualism to it, but the service was great. And they do GAF. I can appreciate that. And then on our way out, we bought a six pack of Zombie Dust for a FFF-loving friend of ours, and my husband got a shirt to wear proudly. We also saw that FFF has opened a distillery as well. I'd love to come back and try it out. read more

September 1, 2019 Sunday - 7:30 PM for dinner 1 Adult Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 star Service - 5 star Background - This brewery has been on my radar for years and did not realize how close it was to my business trip. So I am hitting it up after a long day of work. Atmosphere - Dark, Dark, and more Dark. Heavy Metal music blasting on the stereo. I sat at the small bar looking at the taps and menu board. Honestly I was not expecting this kind of a vibe. Food Drink - I asked what beer was here that I could not get anywhere else and I was told Dune, so that was my first beer of the night. A solid IPA, and would order it again. Second beer was a collaboration with WarPigs Brewpub, Lazurite. Dune was my favorite of the night. Dinner - I ordered the Carne Asada, which came with some thick grilled scallions. Some tortillas were wrapped up in tin foil and served warm. The meat had some great flavor, I just wish the cuts were more consistent. Some were very large while others were bite size. Service - My bar tender was great. He was handing out samples because the credit card part of the register was not working. Shame I still had about a half beer when I tried to cash out. When my beer was gone the register was working again. Future - Yes. read more

I love this place haven't been in a few years but the menu is great and so is the craft beer selection

Three Floyds: Where the owners are assholes, and the beer is overpriced. As you read this, you are probably thinking: "What?!? But Fred, you gave it 5 stars!!" What can I say - apparently, I like assholes and overpriced beer. I've been coming here for years, and the beer is incredible. Only one thing here is better than the beer: the customers. Three Floyds has some of the best customers I've met anywhere. The patrons are friendly, (in a beer-geek sort of way), and everyone seems genuinely​ excited to be here. There is always an energy about this place. Most customers are eager to talk with you, and many offer to share their beer with you (or at least their opinion of the beer). My wife isn't crazy about​ the food. Most of it has some artsy twist. This past weekend we were here on the day of their annual Munsterfest. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich. It wasn't your traditional Chicken Schnitzel. A more accurate description would be: Blackened, Breaded-Chicken Sandwich. It was good, but not Chicken Schnitzel. The workers are all very knowledgeable, and hustle their butts off. Earlier, I mentioned the owners are assholes. That might just be part of their schtick. Either way, it doesn't impact my rating. If you like masterfully crafted beer, you should make the pilgrimage. If you really want to experience Three Floyds in all its glory - come on Dark Lord Day. Whenever you come, you won't be disappointed​. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and the wait was over an hour to be seated. There was a kiosk area that sold merchandise and bottled beer but there was also a line for this too. The parking lot was full but thankfully we were able to find a spot to park. The restaurant played some interesting movies and some loud rock music. Thankfully we were not seated by any speakers so the sound level was bearable. Mike was our server and he was fantastic. They have a lot of good beer here and a lot of good food options (but on the menu it says you cannot substitute anything). The menu also says they do not separate checks for large groups (even though they have some large tables to serve large groups) but I think they can split a check evenly amongst the group. We opted to do their free tour of the facility. Carl gave us an awesome 30 minute tour. Our group was pretty quiet and not many people asked questions but we learned a lot about the types of beer and how hops look like on the vine and go to see all the artwork painted on the walls. The coolest thing we saw was their 6 million dollar bottling machine made in Germany. It was impressive. My only suggestion for this place is that they expand the bathroom facilities. There was only two stalls for women (and I think the same for men)? The mens room had a line waiting outside of it! With this place being so busy they their restrooms to accommodate the large crowds. read more

Great stop for lunch and a beer in Munster, Indiana. Been a fan of Three Floyd's for awhile now and was excited to finally check out the brewery. Only about 10 minutes of the highway and 45 minutes from Chicago; it was easy to find and there's plenty of free parking right in their lot. Found most of their signature beers on tap including; Zombie Dust, Gumball Head and Alpha King. Was also pleasantly surprised by their food menu, all kinds of different things were on their from Ramen soup to Pizza's and my Vietnamese Ban Mih Sandwich was delicious! A gift shop area is located right within the taproom and features beers to go as well as apparel. Three Floyds was everything I had hoped for and I look forward to returning. read more

I figured out a more convenient way to do this. Instead of paying The Floyds a small fortune for one pint of nothing-to-write-home-about beer, now, I simply stop at the bank on my way home and I get twenty singles in change for a twenty-dollar bill. Then, I go home, pop open a cold can of Miller from the thirty-pack that cost me well less than you'll pay for three Floyd's pints. I pour the can into a chilled pint glass, walk into the bathroom, flush six or seven singles down the toilet and then I come back and chug my beer. Hey now! I swear, it provides the exact same results I'd get from drinking at Three Floyds! You're WELCOME! read more

Not the fanciest of breweries I've been to in my lifetime, but they sure do know how to make some hoppy heavy beers. Think kick in the face sort of hops. This place is grungy, dark, and heavy metal. Literally headbangers blasting the entire time. Somewhat fitting with the beers they serve here. Being a fan of their Alpha King, which is pretty accessible out in Chicago I was excited to try some of their other beers. While you can come just for Three Floyds beers, note that they do also offer food if you so desire. But having come from Bombers BBQ just down the way, we were just looking to get our drink on. Probably 10-15 different beers on tap + a couple guest brews on tap as well. All beers... $5. NOT BAD. While I did enjoy the Arctic Panzer Wolf and the Space Station Middle Finger beers I had while I was here, ambiance was a bit lacking for me. More of a sit down sort of a restaurant than a tasteroom/brewery sort of feeling. Tours are offered, but I usually pass on tours now a days as they're basically all the same. In addition, they do offer beers to go if you don't feel like waiting around for seating. $10 6 packs, $40 cases (which I think was just a 24 pack), and an assortment of bombers (22oz) for $10. Anyways, if you've never had Three Floyds, it's definitely worth a stop. This one would give some of the west coast heavy hitters a run for their money IMO. That's all I got! 'Til next time, cheers! 121/365 read more

I stop by three floyds maybe once a year. I don't drive this way often, so I always consider it a treat. However, within the past couple years, the food I have had here has been just so-so. This time around we had the carne asada and the steamed mussels. The carne asada was a little tough and chewy and the portion size was too small. The steamed mussels were just okay. I wouldn't recommend either one. Their beer selection is, of course, great. And they offer small pour sizes so you can try as many as you want. Not sure if this place is worth a stop for me anymore. read more

TLDR: Don't expect good service here if you are a big group even if you biked 3 hours just to come to this spot... A group of 9 friends and myself biked down to Three Floyds from Chicago. We arrived around 12:30 and put our names on a list to be seated. The host asked if we would rather wait for a big table or be split into two groups of 5, to which we agreed that we wanted whatever would be faster. They told us whichever came first is what they would do and it should be about 30-40 minutes. We sat outside and ordered drinks and began our wait. After 45 minutes had gone by, we checked back in with the host. He told us that they would not split us up anymore and that we were just waiting for a group at a table to finish up and pay. Apparently it was too confusing for the wait-staff for us to sit at two separate tables? Fast forward another 30 minutes and we still had not been seated. We checked back in and the host rudely told us that there was nothing we could do and that we had to wait for that table or we could order food to go (we literally biked 3 hours for this). After 1.5 hours we decided to leave as it was starting to rain outside and we were starving and very angry. To add salt to the wound, a baseball team of 16 came in after we had put our name down and they were split into 4 tables of 4 - which apparently was "too confusing" to be done for us - or so the host said. All in all - the beer is good, but the service was awful. Really is a shame that they didn't seem to care the distance we traveled to come there and the attitude we were given by the host. As good as the beer was, I won't be ordering it anymore. read more

After trying more than a few of 3 Floyd's beers and enjoying them, visiting the brewery was on the list of places to visit. Finally got my opportunity to visit on a Saturday around 1 pm. Got put on a waiting list for about 30 mins, so we decided to make a quick run only be called after 15 mins and missed our spot. So added ourselves to the waiting list again...not too big of a deal or long of a wait. Got our table and was relieved to finally be at this place and soak it in. Initial thoughts were that this place a bit small and definitely due for an upgrade for as popular as they seem to be. Location is very hidden too. Ordered the BA Apocalypse Cow. Not sure I knew what I was expecting on this one. Definitely a bit funky on first taste, but warmed up to it upon every sip. I enjoyed my second beer much more Barrel Aged Blot Out the Sun. Good stout, slightly cheaper than the last while still being aged. Food was good. Had cheese curds along with steamed buns w/ pastrami and blueberry mustard. Gift shop was also tiny in the back corner. Thought it was pretty crammed with 3-4 other people in there, so basically waited outside for them to leave. Overall, glad this is a check mark off the bucket list but probably won't be rushing to go back anytime soon. read more

Yummy beer, good food and interesting stops here. I had a brown ale that was really tasty and the cheese curds. As a self proclaimed cheese curd connoisseur, these were pretty tasty. Giant curds, interesting bean and sauce combo. Yum. Big Fish and weird ass noise that others would call music was playing, very unique. read more

Three Floyds are beer bad asses and they know it. The masters of marketing and supply/demand make excellent beer. I've been here several times for lunch, dinner, beer take out, and Dark Lord Day. The wait time is unpredictable: I've had long lines for lunch, but walk right in at 6pm for dinner. Same for the beer carry out. You just never know. I think that's how FFF likes it, keeping the clientele on their toes. Full credit goes to the beer. If you like hops, then FFF must be on your radar. Three of my top beer moments have been at Three Floyds. First, Space Station Middle Finger - a citrus pale ale bursting with flavor - I can't begin to describe how much better the draft is than bottled. Second, a fresh Alpha King at Dark Lord Day. So good! Third, $600 Lizard Shoes, a no-description IPA that was fabulous. As for the brew pub, my best experience has been at the bar. Table service is so-so, with slow drink delivery and food orders coming out at off times. Our beers arrived in two different runs, several minutes apart. Worse, the food arrived in three different shifts. What restaurant can't get sandwiches and pizzas to a four-top table all at the same time?? Not sure if this is kitchen problem or server problem, but it's opportunity for improvement. The pizza looked good. The patty melt is beefy and hearty, but on greasy side. My best meal there by far was the burger and fries at lunch. IMO, the dinner menu has become pricey and pretentious. I applaud the effort, but the menu doesn't match the decor or pub environment. I stop here for the five star beer. I would not stop here just to eat. The three star food with two star value is OK. The service is nothing special. My opinion, the beer is so good, they don't have to be any higher than three stars in other areas. It would be nice, but probably would not add that much to their bottom line. read more

One just can't go to Chicago without making at stop at the ever wonderful Three Floyd's Brewery & Pub. Oh and just an FYI, you avoid all tolls (or at least we did) making this little detour. Located in the small town of Munster Indiana it's not hard to find. We arrived at just the perfect time as you must wait to be seated unless you want to see if openings are at the bar(fat chance in that happening). We didn't wait but 5 minutes ad were seated in he back by a window in which we could see part of the brewery. It was the weekend so nothing was in action this day but I'll tell you it's pretty big. They had a great selection of beers to choose from all of which were their own as well as flight offerings. My favorite they had on tap was Drunk Monk, it's a Hefeweizen and was very delish. We ordered a couple of appetizers beer cheese and Floyd's fries. They were just ok. Seems the food options were just a little weird for our liking. They also have a store which is located to the left of the bar, there's also a separate door for this in case anyone just wants to purchase beer or schwag to go. They have t-shirts, sweatshirts and stickers galore. You can also visit their website for daily to go beer offerings. This place gets packed quick and by the time we left the entire standing room only patio outside was completely full with patrons ordering beer (it comes in a plastic cup out here) and food. We will definitely be back to pick us up some to go beer on our next journey to Chicago later in Summer 2019. read more

The atmosphere is great and the Beer are even better. The beer selection is awesome and being able to take some home is a bigger bonus! Worth the short trip off I-94... If you are into microbrews with both quality and character, then you have to try Three Floyds. People come from all over the world to sample their brews, and they have won several awards for different selections on tap here. The place is small, somewhat noisy and funky- with furniture similar to what I had in my apartment in college. The staff are outgoing- but make no mistake, there is a noted lack of push-up bras, fake tans and hair gel in THIS place. What you have here are knowledgeable locals who really know their beer, and good beer grub. If you sit on a bar stool- you might be educated about beer and the different brews on Saturdays you can tour of the brewer. 100% recommend! read more

The hype is real people. Three Floyds is legit and trust me when I say that visiting this place should be on your to-do list. Aside from offering great craft beer, the food here is awesome and you can truly taste the difference. The chefs here are wizards with their food and beer pairings. Every dish compliments a drink and vise versa which makes the dining experience that much better. You can also buy beer here by the case but you better get there early if you want some of their more popular brews, they always seem to sell out fast. I suggest trying the ZOMBIE DUST if you can't decide on what to order, it's my personal favorite! read more

I am staying here for work everyone back home said to stop in here for dinner. I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly. Got my beer quickly. Food was delicious. Beer was good. The music is played from a record player. Very interesting and good mix of items on the menu. I got the ramen. I liked the crispy part of the meat. I had the Lazersnake and one of the pilsners. 3 Floyd's is definitely worth a visit. I ended up staying out too late on a work night since I was having fun chatting. Lol read more

3 Floyds Brewing - Ramen - Breweries Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Stopped in for dinner and some carry out beers on a Sunday night at 6:30 and got the last open stool at the bar. The menu was already out on the bar for me to review, and when I gave the look that I was ready to order, the bartender was prompt and friendly. I ordered a water along with a Blake's Mango and Habanero cider (not a 3 Floyd's, I know!), and I ordered the cheese curds as a starter. The cider was phenomenal!! I'm so glad I ordered it, I'm going to be scouting stores for more. Just the right amount of kick from the habaneros and 6.5% ABV. The cheese curds were GIGANTIC and so delish. Crisp, tempura batter, and oozing with fresh melted cheese. The real standout part of the dish though were the sweet red pepper slices that were served on top (along with onion). This was such an amazing combo - I was beyond pleased. Way too much for one person though. Following the cheese, I ordered the mussels, which are cooked in a broth infused with Alpha King and accompanied by housemade sausage slices, onion, and nicely toasted bread for dipping. The mussels were a hit. I would definitely recommend this pub to all foodies and beer connoisseurs, and I'll be back for sure. Bravo on everything! read more

After two years of wanting to venture from Chicago to Munster for this gem, it finally happened! Apparently this joint is always busy but all in all, we only waited about 20 minutes to be seated. I think we must have caught it at the right time because it wasn't all that packed for a Saturday night. Our friends told us that it was pretty quiet compared to the other times they had been there; typically impossible to have a conversation. No complaints here, we like to enjoy the experience with friends and conversation is necessary. We ordered some beers from their on-site selection, no disappointment there. Even while we waited outside, a friendly server came to the standing-only tables (barrels with umbrella) to get our drink orders. Two of our friends weren't sure what to order and the server asked what kind of beer they normally like. He pointed them in the right direction. For food, we ordered the cheese curds (delicious) and the churro bread pudding (meh). What killed the churro bread pudding was the crème fraîche. If you're not familiar, it's more of the sour cream variety. Everything else on the dish was spectacular but the extreme tartness of the crème fraîche did not balance well. There is little doubt, we will return and I'm telling everyone I know to check it out. read more

The greatest brewery in the world! Excellent beer, cannot wait for the brewpub to reopen

"Space Station Middle Finger." That's an American Pale Ale from Three Floyd's, and the bottle label depicts a cartoon space station that resembles a giant hand flipping off the universe. (Who knows why.) Other Three Floyd's bottle labels include nearly indecipherable graffiti-like beer names and mysterious manga-like illustrations. Most times, you can't figure out the beer type from the label, much less the ABV. But the beer inside is usually damned good. What I'm getting at is that, in an ever-growing craft-brewing industry that often celebrates the silly and the irreverent and the individualistic, Three Floyd's somehow raises the bar on those attributes. Its brewpub, quietly situated in a light industrial area a few miles from a ridiculously busy Indiana interstate interchange 45 minutes or so south of downtown Chicago, seems like it should, too. We visit Chicago every year or two, and have been wanting to stop by Three Floyds for several years, but it never seems to fit the driving schedule. Anyway, we finally made it. Like a lot of others here say, you'll hear metal when you walk in. Not exactly a fan, but FAR worse music is played in many U.S. restaurants. And at lunchtime on a Thursday, it really wasn't very loud. And the interior itself is actually pretty conventional as far as brewpubs go. Given Three Floyds' flamboyant branding, the brewpub menu is actually quite tasteful as far as such places go. I was sort of expecting a Guy Fieri-like layout of bro-tastic sports-bar junk. But there's a ramen, a little gem salad, and even seitan larb. (Yeah, there's brewpub-like fare, but nothing culinarily moronic, as far as I could tell.) I went with a smoked pork loin, which was very simply presented with a very light, bright salad of fennel and mizuna--not gourmet exactly, but definitely legit "gastropub." It was a quite good plate of food, if not exactly very filling. Wife's al pastor tacos were very solid, too. Most of the pours were only $5, which is extremely economical in 2018. Only problem was that we felt limited to a single beer, as we had to drive immediately into the teeth of Chicago traffic. There's a little room off to the side that has most of current beer product on hand. We can't find much of it back in our town of Cincinnati, so that worked out great. Would definitely like to make a return trip. read more

Whenever my coworkers make a trip to Chicago it always seems like they stop at Three Floyds on the way. Their beer isn't distributed in Michigan, so my boyfriend and I decided to stop there with a couple of friends, yup, on our way to Chicago. I had read a bunch of reviews prior to stopping so I warned everyone several times that a) we might have to stand outside in the cold and b) they would probably be blasting metal. Fortunately for us, we got there around 1:30 pm on a Monday and there was no wait, and the music was playing at a decent, even quiet level. Hooray! They had 20 beers on tap and even more bottles and options from other breweries. I ordered the Center Square, which is a sour peach Berliner. It was delicious! Super sour and a great peach flavor. I also tried the Pear Bear, which was pretty good but I definitely liked the Center Square more. I was bummed they didn't have it in bottles. Everyone else seemed to like their beer choices and there were plenty of options for everyone. For snacks, we ordered the cheese curds and the fries to share - they came out quickly and were both hot. The fries were AMAZING, super buttery, herby, and delicious. The kimchi aioli that accompanied them was definitely not even needed (and not very kimchi-flavored), they were so flavorful on their own. The cheese curds were a bit greasy, but hey - it's fried cheese, not health food. The addition of the kimchi on this dish was definitely needed and welcome to cut through the richness and grease of the fried cheese. There is a big merchandise area in the front corner of the taproom which has lots of t-shirts, stickers, even comic books, all showcasing the super unique and extremely metal artwork typical of Three Floyds. I didn't buy anything, but some of the stickers are super cool. Definitely worth a stop if you like good beer, good food, and metal! They are expanding their space into a much larger building next door, so I will definitely try to check that out once it's done. read more

I love FFF. They are a brewery with attitude, much like Dark Horse and Founders. They brew what they want to and don't worry about beginner beers or offending anyone. The place is generally packed even on a Tuesday at 3pm. The beer is solid and on spot, and if you don't like it, that's your problem. They make the food they like and play the music they like. That's the way it is and I love it. The beer is always better than I expect and so is the food. On this visit I had the best fried cheese curds I have ever tasted. The curds were battered with tempura and topped with Kimchi aioli and pickled red pepper and scallions. Amazing. We also had the Elote Dough Knots with sweet corn and buttermilk purée, charred chili and corn and cilantro relish cojita and chili powder. They pack a punch. There is no going wrong with these guys. If you don't like it, you're wrong. read more

3 Floyds Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Beer friends: Get ye here and buy copious amounts of beer!!! We have been fan of Three Floyds forever but I'd never actually visited the brewery. Like many breweries, it' kind of tucked away in an industrial zone, so it's kind of jarring to see the bright signs with three Fs signifying that you have arrived. The brewery itself is darkly lit and could be a great place to hang for a few beers. I understand there's also food, but I can't say much about it because we were just rolling through. One thing to know is there's a side door on the left where you can go and pick up cases to go. They are very good about updating their website to say what's available. Depending on what is there and how in demand it is, you can get one or two cases per person. If you are really looking to load up, bring extra bodies. They also sell bombers of certain beers. You can't really go wrong here, but our house favorites are Zombie Dust, Gumball Head and Arctic Panzerwolf. Also they sell cool Three Floyds stickers at the takeout counter. The end. Get ye some! read more

Best brewery I've been to so far in NW Indiana. Beers are out of this world. Gumball and Zombie Dust are my favorites and off the tap they are even better. The food is pretty good here also. Though the menu is very eclectic. We had a burger and a bahn mi with sides of fries and salad. All was delicious. If you can get past the unfriendly atmosphere and employees, 3 Floyd's is a pretty cool place. read more
