Beyond Beer: The Ginger Man Opens in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | April 25, 2018

You’ve been waiting since you heard the news last summer and it’s finally here.

Yes, LT-ers, The Ginger Man is officially open for business at the Hill Country Galleria. The inviting open-air space will make you feel like you’ve stepped out of the hustle and bustle of Lakeway and into your favorite European pub.

The Ginger Man is an Austin original with a well-earned spot in the chronicles of beer history.

The Ginger Man first opened in Houston in 1985, and unlike every other American bar, they offered more than 70 beers on tap. Most places just served domestic brew with a few imports. In contrast, The Ginger Man served beer from around the world. And lots of it.

Yeah, that craft beer concept kinda exploded, huh? Call them the pioneers.

Lake Travis Artist Kelly Brynteson Creates Original Artwork for Mack, Jack & McConaughey

Written by Cathy Hale | April 11, 2018

This weekend, Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M) returns to Austin for its fifth annual fundraising event where artwork from one of Lake Travis’ own — resident Kelly Brynteson of Kelly J Studios — will be auctioned off at the fashion show at JW Marriott on Friday, April 13.

If the names Mack, Jack & McConaughey sound familiar to you, they should. And yes, it is that McConaughey.

MJ&M is a fantastic fundraising effort that began in 2013. Started by three Texas legends — Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, ACM Award-winning recording artist Jack Ingram, and ESPN analyst and Texas coaching legend Mack Brown — and dedicated to empowering children through education, health, and wellness.

Over the years, the nonprofit has given nearly 7.5 million dollars to charitable organizations. The funds raised through MJ&M 2018 will support CureDuchenne, Dell Children’s Medical Center, HeartGift, Just Keep Livin Foundation and The Rise School of Austin.
