Three Floyds Brewing is a brewery founded in 1996 by brothers Nick and Simon and their father Mike Floyd in Hammond, Indiana. Since 2000, the brewery has been located in Munster, Indiana. In 2005, Three Floyds opened a brewpub adjacent to the brewery in Munster.
In 2011, an article in the Washington Post said that Three Floyds "has won over the beer geek elite," and "has been making the best beers on the planet for four of the past five years — at least according to the more than 1 million beer reviews logged each year on RateBeer.com. (In 2008, it slipped to second place.)"
Three Floyds produces eight year-round beers and a number of seasonal beers. At different times in the past, the brewery has produced dozens of other beers.
Dark Lord is perhaps the most sought-after beer brewed by Three Floyds. It is a Russian imperial stout with a very high alcohol content, brewed with Dark Matter coffee, vanilla and sugar or molasses. It is sold at the brewery only on "Dark Lord Day", historically on the last Saturday in April but recently moved to mid-May. Attendance at this event is now limited to 6,000 via pre-sold tickets, after crowd control problems in the past. As of November 2015, Dark Lord was ranked the #15 best beer in the world on RateBeer and was ranked #166 on BeerAdvocate.
