About The Brand

"As with most brewers, I fell in love with brewing’s perfect blend of art and science. So I took the leap and applied to the American Brewer’s Guild, where I was accepted and soon graduated. I cut the cord from my old career and started getting everything in place to open a production brewery on the east side of town. After a year and a half of planning, building and installing, on August 4, 2012,we sold our very first keg of beer and produced 11 different styles of beer our first year. With a quick and strong following of local beer supporters, we grew from just 3 employees to well over a dozen, expanded our capacity, and introduced our year-round and seasonal lineup in 6 and 4-packs. Here at Lakewood, we strive to create the highest quality beers by developing new and exciting styles while staying true to the art and precision of craft brewing. We handcraft small batch beers that are full of unique, exciting flavors and reflect the timelessness, creativity, and energetic fun that makes Lakewood less of a place and more of a feeling. It’s where we brewed our first beer, where my family lives today, and where Lakewood Brewing Company was born. Schol! – Wim Bens, President & Founder"
