Heavy Metal and Silent Thrillers

My family has a tradition of going to 3 Floyds Brewery every winter and today the tradition continued.  We like 3 Floyds because they have awesome beer and just as awesome food.  The brewpub is full of heavy metal music and plays various movies on their TVs...today it was a mix of kung foo movies and silent horror films.

3 Floyds Brewpub
Munster, IN

The worst thing about eating here is that it's really popular, so the wait can be very long.  There's not really anywhere to wait inside (unless you can find a spot at the bar, but that's hard to do), so most of the time you have to sit in your car and wait.  This time we went on a Sunday around 3:30pm and we didn't have to wait long at all, so I recommend going at an off-time.
They have some beers that are constant, but many of their beers change throughout the year.  Same with the food.  It's nice to go and always have different options.

Grades:

Megan - A (We shared cheese curds for an appetizer and they were delicious!  Not your average cheese curds.  They had a tempura-like batter on them and were drizzled with a really good semi-spicy sauce.  I had a Floyds Burger which was a double cheeseburger with hot sauce, smoked pickle relish, remoulade, and arugula.  It was yummy and huge.  I only could eat half and got to enjoy the other half for lunch the next day.  I also had a peach sour beer and it was perfect.)

Doug - A (Doug had a steak sandwich and a couple different beers...one was an excellent beer made in honor of Jean-Claude Van Damme called "Man Splits".)

Noelle - B (Noelle was pretty obsessed with the cheese curds and really disappointed when I wouldn't let her eat any more.  She also had mac and cheese that had beer cheese and smoked brisket in it.  She wasn't really into the mac and cheese and that's the reason her grade wasn't an A.  I think maybe the beer flavor was a little too weird for her.  She also had garlic-Parmesan fries and being the fry lover that she is, just couldn't get enough of those.)
