3 Floyds Brewing Company- Zombie Dust

Continuing on my Chicago beer reviews, I move onto one of the best micro breweries in the United states, 3 Floyds Brewing Company. Back in August, I was relaxing in the basement watching one of my favorite shows, Brew Dogs on Esquire TV. Little did I know, this episode they were going to be brewing a beer in Chicago. Half way through the show they listed the Chicago areas best breweries, what stood atop the list? 3 Floyds Brewing Company!  As Leigh and I planned our trip to Chicago, I knew this was going to be the first place that we went!

I will be reviewing two different brews from this great brewery, first of, is one of the best IPAs I have ever had, and it just so happens to have an awesome Halloween theme name. The brew is Zombie Dust and after drinking about four of these you feel like a zombie! These is one of the more intense hoppy beers I have ever had, but mix this with the pale malts used to make this beer work with each other in an amazing fashion. I am usually not the biggest fan of IPAs, but this is clearly one of the better ones I have had. I paired this beer with a peperoni and spinach pizza, the taste of the pizza sauce and spinach work great with this brew, really bringing out the flavors in the food as well as the hoppy flavors of the beer.

Overall, this brewery is just awesome, not only do they have amazing beer, but also the food is to die for! Sadly, this beer is not available in the 402, so next time you are in Munster, IN, make a quick stop at 3 Floyds, as they do have cases of beer to go, and you know I did not leave there without one! Until next time, happy drinking!
