Coronavirus Crisis Kills Three Floyd's Beloved Brew Pub: Report

CHICAGO — A permanent darkness has fallen upon Three Floyd's brew pub.

The brewers of Dark Lord, one of the world's best Russian Imperial Stouts, announced to investors that its death-metal themed brew pub in Munster, Indiana closed indefinitely earlier this year due to the coronavirus crisis will not be making a comeback, the Northwest Indiana Times reported.

In May, the brewing company posted news of the brew pub's indefinite shutdown on Facebook.

"There's no other way to put it — 2020 has sucked. We've been navigating this new world day by day and rolling with the punches it has thrown at us," the Facebook post said back then.

"The safety of our customers and staff is our first priority, and at this time, we do not have immediate plans to reopen 3 Floyds Brewpub for bar or dine-in service. We're going to continue to brew the beer that brought us together and uphold the culture that you all have built with us over the past fifteen years in the pub."

According to the Times report Wednesday, Three Floyds has not been able to avoid tough times brought on by the pandemic. The decision to close partly hinged on making "the safety of our customers and staff will always be our top priority," the letter signed by brewery founder Nick Floyd said.

Beer, spirits, merchandise and packaged food will continue to be available for curbside pickup at the brewery, 9750 Indiana Pkwy.
