This Black Friday marks the 15th year of Lakefront Brewery (1872 N. Commerce St.) being the epicenter of craft beer’s biggest holiday. It’s a safe bet that a line will form well before dawn, and hours before the brewery opens at 8 a.m. To keep the masses nourished, Lakefront’s food truck will start serving breakfast burritos and coffee at 6 a.m.

When Lakefront owners Russ and Jim Klisch swing open the doors at 8 a.m., the huddled masses can expect several liquid rewards for their patience (which is usually more like a party anyway). The 2025 Black Friday lineup is a good one.
