I love 3 Floyds beer but I hate everything else about their business. The place sucks, the workers suck, the management sucks...

Can you expound upon this? I'd like to hate them too, I just don't know why yet.

My only regret in life is never having met the legend in person...

You've gotta go to a remote. You tell him that you're from the board, and he'll buy you a drink ASAP.

They may have changed since I went a few times a couple years ago but...

The place was small and people were packed in like sardines.
The food was expensive and not that great.
The workers were all rude hipsters.
The manager acted like a dick when I had a complaint about something.

The beer is great though. I love it.

That beer is awfully hoppy. I guess that's their trademark though. I'm not really a beer guy but my friend Beer Snob Bob assures me that their are many superior brews to anything made by Three Floyds.

JORR's friend is too hipster for 3 Floyd's? That's pretty damn hipstery. Spanky is jealous.

Like I said, I'm not a beer guy, but Beer Snob Bob is a guy who really knows his shit. Next time I see him I'll ask him some of his favorites. I'm only slightly interested in craft brewing, but from talking to him I get the idea that he thinks 3 Floyds is overhopped. You know way more about this shit than I do. Maybe it's just a matter of taste. I think he speaks highly of Revolution Brewing.

The hops are what give the beer flavor. What kind of beer snob doesn't like hops?

[There are plenty of beers with very little hops. Beers like Miller Lite and Coors Light come to mind.

I think there should be a balance to ingredients. I've sat around with a roomful of beer snobs and listened to them knock 3 Floyds. These aren't casual guys either. I'm talking about loons that eat, sleep, and breathe beer and brewing. Guys that hang out at the Map Room. But like I said, I don't know. I'm fine with a yellow American macrobrew.

Not every beer from 3 Floyd's is a hop bomb. Is it possible that these guys don't like 3 Floyd's for reasons other than the beer itself?

Beer is great, but the food was just eh. Met Jurko at Durty Nellies in Palatine. Same on the air as he is in person, except with more cursing. Great dude. For whatever reason (I assume alcohol), he had his pants at his ankles while standing at the bar right after the show. This was when Mac was still host, but on a hiatus, so Carmen was subbing.

um... there were a bunch of us there that day. Me, Doug, hawkeye, Grid, NSJ. Maybe others?

My buddy and I went to 3 Floyd's for lunch and a couple of cases for carryout, and we see Jurko in the parking lot walking up as we did. He was grabbing two cases of Zombie Dust that he said was to settle a bet. He couldn't have been friendlier. A real man of the people.

There are some he likes more than others. But I know if you asked him for a quick summary of that brewery, he would answer "Hop Kings".
