The August Schell Brewing Company is a brewing company in New Ulm, Minnesota. It was founded by German immigrant August Schell in 1860. It is the second oldest family-owned brewery in America (after D. G. Yuengling & Son) and became the oldest and largest brewery in Minnesota when the company bought the Grain Belt rights in 2002. In September 2010, it celebrated its 150th Anniversary with a two-day festival. Every year Schell's also celebrates traditional German holidays with Bock Fest and Oktoberfest.
August Schell (February 15, 1828, in Durbach, Grand Duchy of Baden – September 20, 1891, in New Ulm, Minnesota) emigrated to the United States in 1868. He worked in Cincinnati as a machinist before moving to New Ulm, where he established a mill and then a brewery. The brewery grew in size and production. When August Schell died, he passed ownership to his son Otto Schell; Otto Schell died in 1911. George Marti, August Schell's son-in-law, took over the brewery, and it has been in the hands of the Marti family since that time.
These beers fill the spot left by Schell's Stout in their year-round lineup. They are both available for roughly six months, and as of release are classified as "year-round" beers by Schell's.
Seasonal beers include:
A collection of specialty beers, all Berlin-style wheat beers or Berliner Weisse, aged in rare cypress fermentation tanks Schell’s bought in 1936. Noble Stars are available in select liquor stores and are hand-filled, hand-labeled and bottle-conditioned.
*1995-1997 Beers were called Blizzard Ale
** 1992 Beer was called Xmas Brew
