The pop-up experience will showcase specially crafted sweets that incorporate two of Lakewood Brewing Company's signature brews — the newly introduced Temptress [Blonde](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blonde-truffle-bar) and the brand's renowned Temptress Stout. Sweet Dol-ings was founded by Nedjina Dol after her homemade dessert boxes gained unexpected popularity during the pandemic. The collaborative pop-up with the brewery will offer attendees the chance to sample the innovative beer-infused desserts while enjoying Lakewood's full beer selection and savory pub fare — from pretzels with beer cheese to a limited-edition pickle-topped flatbread. Foodies seeking unique flavor combinations will definitely find interest in the beer-infused baking concept, which merges the craft beverage and artisanal dessert movements.
