Yep, we’re the ones forcing it... http://www.3fonteinen.be/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Fonteinen While your Wikipedia (solid reference, BTW) link doesn’t work, I was able to find this page easily enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Fonteinen A quick "Ctrl-F" and a search for "3F" or "abbreviation" turned up ZERO hits on either page. Neither page suggests that it should be abbreviated "3F". Meanwhile, there is this: http://www.ratebeer.com/Lexicon.asp Thanks for proving my point!

I always have to remember the name of one of their beers and find the brewery from there. Luckily they seldom brew a new one...

You would think for a start up brewery, who is trying to gain recognition, spelling your name with the German spelling would be a stupid idea. While Werk is a German word it doesn’t mean ’work’. Werk is Dutch for work though.

"Drie Fonteinen" or "3 Floyds"? Obviously "3 Floyds".

I said it! And why? Thee brewer’s name is Hill and it’s on a farmstead. I know what it is and who Shaun Hill is. I still think it sounds stupid. that’s kind of like saying The White House is a stupid name because it’s a house, and it’s white. Everyone entitled to their opinion, though.... You got a point, but it’s still does not answer the question, what is wrong with the name? #desperateattemptforattention
