It's hard to believe that Lakewood Brewing Company is celebrating their fourth anniversary — that's four years of helping inebriate Texans with some of the finest craft beer around. Saturday's event will provide an opportunity to taste some of Lakewood's vintage releases like their 2015 Bourbon Barrel Temptress, as well as limited offerings and tried-and-true classics. See the website for a full list of anticipated tappings. Be sure to buy your ticket in advance for one of the three entry times that day, as they will not be sold onsite. General admission is still available for $25 per person and includes six five-ounce pours and access to the brewery and beer garden.
