HORSESHOE BAY — The Horseshoe Bay Resort is well-known for golf on Lake LBJ, but the first Beer by the Bay Music Festival aims to bring a Texas-sized serving of music, food and beer to the Hill Country.
“This allows us to get people out here who may not check us out because they’re not a golfer or don’t hit the lake all the time,” said Bryan Woodward, chief marketing officer. “We are part of the Hill Country community. Opening to the public allows us to work with more of a local community.”
The festival July 26-28 features a music lineup including Two Tons of Steel, Jason Helms Band, The Bart Crow Band, Kylie Rae Harris, Matt Caldwell, CrossOver, Matt Kimbrow, Ryan Harkrider and the Nightowls, and The Effinays.[box]TUNE IN

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. July 26-27 and 10:30 a.m. July 28. Events July 28 are only open to hotel guests.
