Press Release:

(Garland, TX) – Lakewood Brewing Company is happy to announce that La Dame du Lac, the second release in our Legendary Series, will launch next Thursday, May 30 at the Common Table. The first tapping will be at around 5 p.m. The limited release beer will be available on draft first, then in 22 oz. bottles shortly thereafter. Look for it at craft beer bars and craft beer stores in North Texas.

La Dame du Lac is a Bière de Garde, a traditional farmhouse ale.

“A Bière de Garde is a very malt forward beer,” Wim Bens explains, “which means it tends to be a little on the sweeter side. It’s a bright beer; it’s not cloudy. It’s filtered. This is our interpretation obviously of a Bière de Garde. We’re using some honey malts in this beer, Vienna malts, Munich malts. These are all German malts that were traditionally used in a Bière de Garde. We’re very excited about the beer. It’s going to be super tasty. It will benefit from some age. Letting it age, and letting it naturally lager will only add to the complexity of the beer down the road.”

The Legendary Series honors various figures from local and Belgian myths. “La Dame du Lac” pays homage to the urban legend of White Rock’s Lady of the Lake. Lakewood Brewing Company produced a video retelling this spooky story. It was shot and edited by a film student Cory Canady.
