Second Chapter Brewing and Lake Mac Shack are an official stop on the 2023 Nebraska Passport.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the local Women in Ag group on Tuesday, April 11. It was a great opportunity to reflect on our business story and share ideas with other women in our community.

​As you may know, I (Lisa) grew up on a farm here in Ogallala and Richard and I relocated here from the East Coast six years ago to farm with my parents. We still have many connections to the world of agriculture, and of course we use many agricultural products in our process.
