Three Floyds reportedly closes brewpub — this time for good — due to COVID-19 pandemic

Indefinitely has become forever, according to the Times of Northwest Indiana.The that the iconic northwest Indiana brewery has informed investors that its brewpub, which operated a full kitchen and poured a broad array of Three Floyds beers, will not reopen after being closed for seven months.Advertisement“As many of you know, this pandemic has not been kind to the restaurant industry, and we are no exception,” Three Floyds wrote in a letter to investors, according to the Times. “As of December 1, 2020, we have decided to permanently close 3 Floyds Brewpub. This decision was not easy for us, but at the end of the day, the safety of our customers and staff will always be our top priority.”Calls to the brewery and its founder, Nick Floyd, were not returned Wednesday.AdvertisementThe initial decision to close indefinitely in late May bucked early conventional wisdom about operating during the pandemic; at the time, Indiana was trying to get bars and restaurants open again. Yet Floyd said — accurately, it turned out, based on the pandemic’s unrelenting spread — that he didn’t believe reopening was safe.“I can’t put people in danger. No one should die over a beer,” Floyd said at the time. “I would die for beer and probably will, but I’m not going to make people endanger themselves.”The pub, which could accommodate 70 people in about 2,000 square feet, would not reopen “until it’s safe to operate again,” Floyd said at the time, expressing concern for both customers and employees.“It’s too many people jammed in,” he said.In an era where breweries make vast profits by selling beer directly to customers, odds would seem good that Three Floyds will eventually open another version of a taproom at its Munster brewery.Known for its Alpha King and Zombie Dust pale ales, Gumballhead wheat ale, Dark Lord imperial stout and an early embrace of aggressively using hops, Three Floyds has been one of the nation’s most influential craft breweries since launching in 1996.
