There’s A Closing Party And An Opening Party!
According to their events page, Icarus Brewing not only will have an opening party on Saturday, July 20th at their new location, but they are also having a “Last Call” blowout at the Lakewood Brewery This Weekend!
The website says: It’s time to bid farewell to our Lakewood location so we’re throwing a weekend-long extravaganza from June 14th-16th to celebrate in style before we take flight to our new home in Brick! Get ready for an unforgettable weekend packed with craft brews, live performances, food trucks, and a special bottle release. Here’s the full lineup for the Last Call Party this weekend:
Friday, June 14th – Kick off the weekend with high-energy jams from @thefoesoffern at 7:30 PM and @junk_food_the_band at 9:00 PM.
Saturday, June 15th – Experience a relaxing acoustic afternoon featuring performances from @jz_soloacoustic at 12:45 PM followed by @thomasduffyguitar at 2:45 PM. Later we have indie pop rockers @separatr at 4:45 PM then stick around for their second set at 6:15 PM.
Sunday, June 16th – This is your very last opportunity to grab an Icarus brew at our original home in Lakewood before we close to move our operations to Brick, so come enjoy tunes from our extensive vinyl collection while sipping on $5 Slow Pour Lagers in the Beer Garden.
A message from the Icarus Brewing on Instagram goes on to say:
It’s been a long journey to get to this point for Icarus Brewing, but with your unwavering support, we’re nearly ready to take flight and spread our wings to our forever home in Brick. We owe a HUGE thank you to all of our incredible supporters for the words of encouragement throughout this entire process, to everyone who has lent a hand in making this possible, and for the awesome community, we’ve been lucky enough to cultivate around the beers we make over the past 7 and a half years.
It’s bittersweet to be saying goodbye to the Lakewood brewery this weekend (we better see every one of you this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the last call!), but this means we’re turning the page on a new chapter of Icarus Brewing as we continue to grow and expand our community of craft beer in NJ and beyond.
We have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks as we transition our operations to Brick, so bear with us and get hyped! We cannot wait to welcome you all into Icarus 2.0 for an epic celebration on July 20th – we’ll bring the beers!!! 🍻🍻🍻
Stay tuned for more details on what’s up our sleeves…
Meanwhile, the opening party on July 20th at the new location might just become the biggest party Brick has ever seen! We plan on being there for all of it. Cheers to Icarus!
