Lake Bums BrewCo, LLC.

Lake Bums BrewCo is a small brewery in Pontiac, near Bull Shoals Lake in the Missouri Ozarks. It was founded in 2017 by Tim Morgan, Don Looper and Norman Eubank, longtime friends who had been home brewing since the early 1980s and sometimes brewed with water taken straight from the lake. The brewery no longer uses lake water, but its name still reflects that attachment to Bull Shoals. In July 2024 the founders passed the brewery to the Williams family, who own A-Squared Brewing Company in Mountain Grove and had long visited the lake. Austin Williams, who earned a biochemistry degree from Drury University, began brewing with his father, Allen, on a basement homebrew kit. Alongside its beers and seasonal brews, Lake Bums pours mixed drinks such as a lavender lemonade vodka soda on tap, and the family also runs the Feeding Frenzy Food Boat.
