August Schell Brewing Company

We were so busy enjoying the beer and chatting with Will that we didn't take any photos. The beer was delicious! Gorgeous property in winter so what a dream it must be in summer. You HAVE to try the 1919 on draft. I had no idea I liked root beer until I had this. Will was a great bartender!!! I think he would be so funny on brewery tours.The guy in the gift shop (Wednesday 2/19) was also very kind! Had plenty of answers and very hospitable.

Love visiting Schell's any time we're in or around New Ulm. Their taproom is very ample, facilities are well maintained, and the beer is just phenomenal. Did I mention their prices are incredible too? Maybe its the fact that living near mpls makes every place charge you $10 for a tall beer, but it's just wonderful to have an affordable brewery that is a MN staple. You can go with classics like Nordeast or Grain Belt Premium, but we always go for Grain Belt Blu and Schell's Sangria. There's just something so refreshing with those 2. Don't take my word for it, just go visit them!

Best small town Brewery in America.They also make Grain Belt. Tap room is awesome and great store to get your Swag.

Schell's brewing is a very large brewery that feels like a small-town microbrewery. They are one of my favorite "day trips" from the Twin Cities, especially since New Ulm has so much else to do. Fall is by far the best time to visit, when the trees are changing and their brewery is alive in fall colors and stocked with Oktoberfest beer. They definitely brew one of the best Marzens around. If you really want to see something special, be sure to come to their annual Oktoberfest party, one of the best in the Midwest. Alpenstern always plays, and they have lots of German food and, of course, beer. But, you can come any other time too, and sample one of their many brews. Their taproom is really cool, and has a nice patio in addition to a fun indoor beerhall. They also have lots of special beers on tap that you can't find in cans; you can take them home in crowlers usually though. Schell's is definitely worth a visit for any beer lover!

Any visit to New Ulm, Minnesota would not be complete without stopping at the Schell's Brewing Company and Taproom. It was a hot day when we went so it was nice to take advantage of a nice cold beer after spending the day in downtown. You can either take advantage of the indoor tap room or they also have a nice patio area to lounge at. The inside tap room has more options though so we decided to go with that. We sampled a collection of their fruited beers and shandys since I normally drink just drink Schells and Grain Belt periodically from a can. I really liked the lemon shandy, sweet and way to drink. There was a lot of cool stuff to look at in their gift shop and you can also pick up a tour to the brewery from inside.

Schell's is a staple in New Ulm! The space relaxing, there is a variety of beer, and the prices are great. We sat down with a beer each and a container of Von Hanson's pretzels. They do a great job of creating a welcoming environment without overdoing it. We accidentally sat near a speaker, but the sound was managed so we could easily hear one another without needing to shout. We loved our drinks so much, we each bought a crowler to go. On the way out, we even saw the peacocks For first timers - there is parking at the bottom of the hill after you pass the buildings. The taproom is at the top of the hill on the right hand side.

The coolest brewery I've ever visited. It is rich with history(one of the oldest craft breweries in the U.S.) as it kept itself open during prohibition by producing soda. It recently opened their sour beer building the Starkellar which utilizes reconditioned cypress lagering tanks they discovered on their grounds when they took down a wall. They have beautiful grounds for visits in any time of year, but especially in the spring and summer when the plants are blooming. They also have deer and peacocks on their grounds and some of the best German beer you'll find on this side of the Atlantic. Próst!

Always a fun place to stop for a beer or a flight ! The people behind the bar are nice , good service with a smile!

By far the best brewery tour I've ever been a part of. I can't imagine a more generous and informative tour. The tour starts with a historical background on the brewery and winds it's way through the brewery with informative stops. The tour ends in the tap room, where the magic begins. Six beers are available for tasting and then you get a full bottle of your favorite beer. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly along the way. The setting is so peaceful as you enjoy your full beer in the sunken garden while listening to the breeze whistle through the tall black walnut trees. It's a small slice of Germany right here in Minnesota.

If you have never been to New Ulm, MN then you are missing out on one of the great treasures of the state of Minnesota - Schells Brewery. Between the brewery and (relatively) new Bierhalle the grounds are a masterpiece. I have been in the Summer and now in the Winter, both times being impressed by the beauty of the property. Every year Schells releases Snowstorm with a different recipe and even different style each time. They have done sours, they have done Belgians, they have done it all! Since I was in town I made sure to stop by to try the 2022 release straight from the mothership.Snowstorm 2022:A Dark Lager that you can tell they used a healthy dose of specialty grains. You are immediately faced with an aroma of leather and woodsy notes. First sip is a lot of dark bread followed by spices and a hint of sweetness. This year's rendition of Snowstorm is just as dynamic and complex as other years, but in a different way of course. Always fun to try this beer year after year!___________________
