Lakewood Brewing Company

"Take the whole family out to this patio, which the brewery renovated and enlarged. There are more than enough picnic tables, games for kids, and even a tent protecting it from sun or rain. Plus, it’s a great spot to have a locally-brewed beer and a bite, or even take a brewery tour." - Rachel Pinn, Courtney E. Smith

"This local brewery not only welcomes folks out for some eclipse viewing, but will make its new spring and summer seasonal brew, Sunburst Wheat, available for the first time that day." - Courtney E. Smith

"One can’t talk about stouts in DFW without talking about Lakewood. Temptress — the base beer and the multiple flavor variations it produces, including peanut butter and salted caramel — is the most popular stout in the region. It also has seasonal beers in virtually every style, with a taproom in Garland open seven days a week. In the newly added-on kitchen, guests can enjoy dishes including salads and wraps and hearty comfort foods such as barbecue brisket sandwiches with meat sourced from the nearby Intrinsic Smokehouse and flatbread pizzas." - Courtney E. Smith, Alex Gonzalez

"This local brewery extended its outdoor area to not only have more seating but more covered seating — so neither beer lovers nor their dogs have to sweat it out in the sun. Bring your dog for beer flights, weekend mimosas, and light bites." - Courtney E. Smith, Leslie Chatman
