Lakewood Brewing Releases French Toast Temptress and Big D – Double IPA / Lakewood S’Mores Temptress / Mechanical Jackalope

From Lakewood:

Dallas, TX  (March 2022) – Lakewood Brewing has announced the return of French Toast Temptress to its wildly popular Seduction Series as well as Big-D Double IPA, the permanent iteration of its popular Big D IPA rotating series.

Lakewood’s Seduction Series takes the North Texas brewery’s best-selling Temptress Imperial Milk Stout and infuses it with different flavors. Past iterations have included Peanut Butter Temptress, Salted Caramel Temptress, and Coconut Temptress.

“What’s for breakfast?” joked Wim Bens, Founder and President. “This time of year calls for a decadent beer and French Toast Temptress checks all the boxes. FTT, as we call it, starts with Temptress and adds an extra boost of vanilla with lots of Grade-A Maple Syrup and a hint of cinnamon. It’s a real eye-opener!”

“Last year’s Big D series was a lot of fun for us and a way to experiment with what makes great IPA’s,” added Bens. “The IPA landscape is always changing, but we think that balance is key to making an IPA that people want to keep coming back to. With our Big-D Double, we have created a wonderful balance of strength, hoppiness, flavor and aroma.”

The beer’s label features the "Big D Robot," a nod to Dallas’ iconic Traveling Man sculptures, taking Big Tex and the Fair Park ferris wheel for a stroll. Bens added, “I might be biased, but this is the best IPA we’ve come out with so far and it’s a perfect way to start celebrating our 10 years in beer! We have a lot of surprises in store for this year. I can’t wait!”

French Toast Temptress is currently available on draft and in 4-packs at the Lakewood Brewing Taproom, while Big-D Double IPA is also available in six-packs and on draft in the Lakewood Brewing Taproom at 2302 Executive Drive in Garland. Statewide distribution is already under way. For all Lakewood beer releases, the curious and the die-hard can visit Lakewood’s Beer Finder, or go online to order for a Taproom pickup.

Lakewood will be releasing a bevy of new and limited-release beers to celebrate their decade of decadence.
