Getting Hooked on 3 Floyds Brewing

Logo is a registered trademark of 3 Floyds Brewing

I've been a little obsessed lately with the beers coming out of 3 Floyds Brewing in Munster, Indiana. About 8 years ago, my brother and I and the rest of our motley crew decided to stop by the brewery on the way to a rafting trip in West Virgina that I set up for my brother's bachelor party. "You have to try the Gumballhead!" they said. It was all over from there, I fell in love with the brewery, the beer the atmosphere. The only problem, I lived in Texas at the time and 3 Floyds had not distributed anywhere but the Midwest, my favorite beer was nowhere to be found. 3 Floyd's beers had slipped into a distant, pleasurable memory, until a few months ago when I discovered the brand on one of my vendor's lists...it was time to relieve the magic! Now a bit of history and facts:

3 Floyds Brewing, founded in 1996 by Nick, Simon, and their father Mike Floyd in Hammond, Indiana, has become a legendary name in the craft beer world. Known for their 'It’s Not For Everyone' motto, they’ve built a reputation for bold, aggressive, and unapologetic brews. Their history is rooted in a passion for heavy metal, comic books, and, of course, exceptional beer.

Over the years, 3 Floyds has expanded from a small operation to a powerhouse, consistently ranking among the best breweries globally. Their core lineup features some of the most sought-after beers in the industry:

1. Alpha King: Their flagship American Pale Ale, bursting with citrusy hops and a solid malt backbone. It’s the beer that started it all.

2. Zombie Dust: A cult-favorite Undead Pale Ale. This single-hop (Citra) beer is incredibly aromatic and refreshing, making it a must-try for any hop-head.

3. Gumballhead: An American Wheat Ale brewed with Amarillo hops. It’s crisp, lemony, and perfect for a summer day.

4. Robert the Bruce: A rich and malty Scotch Ale with notes of caramel and roasted grain, named after the legendary Scottish king.

Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the scene, 3 Floyds Brewing continues to push the boundaries of what beer can be.
