3 Floyds New Taproom Munster: A Craft Beer Paradise Awaits

Cheers to New Beginnings: 3 Floyds New Taproom Munster

Oh, hoppy day! In case you haven’t heard through the grapevine—or should I say, hop bine—3 Floyds Brewery has recently received the green light to sling some serious brews in their brand spanking new taproom and beer garden envisioned right in Munster. Now, before you begin to foam at the mouth with excitement, let me pour out all the deets on this thrilling news for craft beer connoisseurs.

Tapping into the Details

In a show of unanimous support that would make a cold beer on a hot day jealous, the Munster Plan Commission has tipped their glasses in favor of 3 Floyds and their grand blueprint. As legend would have it, the planned oasis is not just a place to sate your thirst; we’re talking a full-on Munster Taproom Expansion with a restaurant and not one, but two glistening bars—indoors and out!

And it’s not just any design we’re toasting to—it’s one inspired by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Imagine sipping your pint amidst prairie landscapes with indigenous mound-building berms. This is the kind of place where even your glass of beer might feel underdressed!

The More the Merrier: Size Matters

Let’s face it, the original pub was cozy, but this new space? It’s like going from a six-pack to a keg! We’re talking double the size, folks. But don’t fret, the heart and soul of 3 Floyds will pulse stronger than ever, with the same beer-battered cheese curds (hello, old friend) and barbecue beef jerky on the menu. Plus, with the Fifty/50 Restaurant Group helming the food scene, your taste buds are in for a treat as big as the taproom itself.

Pour Another Round: What’s on Tap

You may have had the pleasure of tipping back a 3 Floyds beer in the past, but the new taproom will feature their classic pours alongside some spirited newcomers from 3 Floyds Distillery and War Pigs USA. Trust me, from the moment you take a seat, you’ll feel like royalty—beer royalty.

Keeping the Spirit Alive: The Craft Beer Movement

Now, you might be asking yourself, “Why all the uproar about a taproom?” Let me spill the beans: 3 Floyds isn’t just a brewery; it’s a pioneer of the Craft Beer Movement. Born in Hammond back in ’96, it poured the foundation for the countless craft breweries we now know and love in the Calumet Region. And let’s not forget, this trailblazer has been hopped up to ‘best brewery in the world’ status by RateBeer, not just once but time and again.

Not Your Average Brew: A Toast to Originality

Cracking open a 3 Floyds brew is like listening to a killer guitar solo—it’s bold, perfectly executed, and leaves you wanting more. With their “not normal” attitude and heavy metal aesthetic, it’s clear they march to the beat of their own double bass pedal. Speaking of heavy metal, let’s chat about the rockin’ Dark Lord Day Festival.

Rocking the Stout: The Dark Lord Day Festival

Imagine a throng of 7,000 craft beer aficionados, headbanging to heavy metal and converging on Munster for one reason—to worship the almighty Dark Lord. No, it’s not a cult; it’s the annual Dark Lord Day Festival, where the brew named after a vengeful deity makes its triumphal appearance. And let me tell you, this Russian Imperial Stout doesn’t play second fiddle to any beer.

From Legacy to Longevity

It’s true that in 2020, the old tavern shut its doors amidst a global hullabaloo. But did 3 Floyds crumble like a stale pretzel? Heck no! They kept churning out that golden nectar we all crave and kept their retail game strong. Now, as we raise a toast to the future, let’s remember the former taproom with a fondness that warms our hearts like a toasted barrel-aged stout.

Remember, dear hop enthusiasts, this is a place that racked up James Beard Award nominations and television features that made it a must-visit. We’re not simply talking about a brewery; we’re renewing our vows to a movement, a community, a hoppy way of life!

Keep Calm and Hop On

Rest easy, my brew-loving friends and stay patient as the last details fall into place. The approval stamps are fresh, and the excitement is brewing. Three cheers to the valiant return of 3 Floyds’, where the frothy embrace of a well-crafted pint awaits us all at the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired haven in Munster.

To end on a bubbly note, if you’re as excited as I am, raise your glass to this cheers-worthy news. Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter, and let’s get ready for a froth-tastic future filled with crisp sips and joyous gulps at the highly anticipated 3 Floyds New Taproom! Prost! 🍻
