The original brewery was built by Nick and Simon in a run down warehouse located in Hammond, Indiana. The first beers brewed by the brothers were designed to be a departure from the fairly bleak craft brewing scene in the region. Nick and Simon brewed intense balanced beers that were and still remain \u201cnot normal\u201d by conventional standards.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit: <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.3floyds.com');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.3floyds.com\">www.3floyds.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0;
