Production & Heritage

Three Floyds Brewing Co. was founded in 1996 in Munster, Indiana, under the motto "It's Not Normal" — a philosophy that steered the brewery toward bold, aggressively hopped beers and a fiercely loyal following. Operating a 30-barrel brewhouse system, the brewery has scaled significantly while retaining the intensity that earned it national recognition. In 2011, The Washington Post reported that Three Floyds "has been making the best beers on the planet for four of the past five years," citing more than one million annual reviews on RateBeer.com. Variety #2 pairs three proven flagships with Lord High Fixer, a hazy IPA brewed exclusively for this pack.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Across the four beers, aromas range from bright citrus to earthy pine. Gumballhead opens with pineapple, pine needles, and lemon citrus, while Pride & Joy brings forward grapefruit and lemon hop notes over a gentle malt base.

Taste: Pride & Joy (5.0% ABV) enters with a soft malt sweetness before citrus hops take the lead — hints of lemon and grapefruit ride a light caramel maltiness. Gumballhead (5.6% ABV) layers wheat and sugar with earthy hop character at mid-palate. Zombie Dust (6.5% ABV) delivers the most assertive hop punch of the set, while Lord High Fixer contributes the juicy, full-bodied weight characteristic of the hazy IPA style.

Finish: Gumballhead and Pride & Joy finish clean, crisp, and refreshing — built for warm-weather sessionability. Zombie Dust and Lord High Fixer carry more residual body and linger longer across the palate with sustained hop bitterness.

How to Drink Variety #2

All four beers drink best chilled to 40–45°F and poured into a tulip glass or shaker pint to release hop aromatics. For a guided tasting, start with Pride & Joy's lighter frame, move through Gumballhead's wheat-softened middle, then progress to Zombie Dust's intensity before finishing with Lord High Fixer's haze-forward complexity. Gumballhead's bright citrus character also works well in a shandy with fresh lemonade, and Pride & Joy's crisp profile holds up in a radler with grapefruit juice. For something bolder, Zombie Dust's hop backbone brings unexpected depth to a craft beer michelada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Three Floyds Variety #2 taste like? The pack spans a range from crisp, citrus-driven pale ales to juicy, full-bodied hazy IPA, unified by Three Floyds' signature aggressive hop character. Expect lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, pine, and earthy hop flavors across the four beers.

How does Three Floyds Variety #2 compare to a Sierra Nevada variety pack? Both breweries anchor their lineups in hop-forward pale ales, but Three Floyds pushes bolder and more aggressive on the hop intensity — reviewers have noted that beers like Pride & Joy recall Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on the front end but finish with more pronounced hop bitterness. The inclusion of the exclusive Lord High Fixer Hazy IPA also gives this pack a style Sierra Nevada's standard variety does not typically feature.

Where is Three Floyds Variety #2 made? All four beers are brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Co. in Munster, Indiana, a small city in the northwest corner of the state near the Illinois border.

What foods pair well with Variety #2? Gumballhead's wheat-citrus profile pairs naturally with grilled shrimp or fish tacos. Pride & Joy's crisp finish cuts through the richness of burgers or bratwurst. Zombie Dust's hop intensity stands up to spicy buffalo wings. Lord High Fixer's hazy body complements creamy cheeses like brie or camembert.

What sizes does Variety #2 come in? Three Floyds Variety #2 is available as a 12-pack of 12 oz cans containing three cans each of four different beers.

Is Variety #2 worth the price? Three Floyds positions as a premium Midwest craft brewery with a reputation that drives strong demand, and this pack offers an efficient way to sample three flagships plus a pack-exclusive hazy IPA in a single purchase, representing solid value within the premium craft beer tier.

Why Variety #2?

The defining reason to reach for this pack is Lord High Fixer — a hazy IPA brewed exclusively for Variety #2 and unavailable on its own.

Few variety packs combine this caliber of established flagships with a genuine exclusive release, making it a meaningful pick for anyone serious about hop-forward American craft beer.
