(More pics below the break!)

Lake McConaughy is a place to make some memories.

From epic storms to perfect sunsets, getting sand in your crack at Lake Mac is just the start. After a day at the beach or on the water, enjoy a refreshing, light lager brewed with flaked maize for a touch of sweetness.

We are on our last keg and the final cans of this easy-going lager. IT WILL BE BACK before long but don't miss your chance for another taste of summer while current supplies last.

It’s time for Oktoberfest!
