A northwest Indiana craft brewery is being featured among a list of “30 Beers That Changed America.” The list from food, drink, travel and entertainment website Thrillist includes Dark Lord from Munster-based 3 Floyds Brewing Co., putting it alongside well-known brands such as Budweiser, Coors, and Samuel Adams.

The website says the beer, which is nearing its 20th anniversary, is “now synonymous with the most legendary release party in craft beer.” 3 Floyds regularly holds its Dark Lord Day event in Munster, though this year’s edition has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Other breweries have followed suit with their own hyped-up release bashes, but there remains only one Dark Lord Day, when an industrial enclave in northwest Indiana becomes the epicenter of the craft beer universe,” Thrillist says.
