Information on Three Floyds Brewing Company |
What do you get when you mix water, malted barley and hops? The answer
is beer! And, the average American consumes about 20 gallons, or 210
bottles of it per year! Now, if you're one of these beer-loving Americans
and you're looking for a really unique brew, our man Lou tracked down
a local brewery creating some of the most eclectic beers around! It's
the Three Floyds Brewing Company! And, with names like the Dark Lord
and the Alpha King, it's safe to say that these are some pretty serious
beers! Tours of the Three Floyds Brewing Company are available every
Saturday at 3PM. And, there's no need to call ahead! You can just
show up and someone will show you around!
