Schell’s is an established brewery popular for its German pilsners and lagers located in New Ulm, Minnesota. All it took to start this extraordinarily successful brewery was a thirsty German, a talented brewmaster, and loads of passion. Schell’s is now the oldest family-owned brewery in Minnesota, and the second oldest in the United States. With the acquisition of Grain Belt in 2002, the brewery became the largest in the state of Minnesota. The brewery offers daily tours that start in the Museum of Brewing, where visitors can learn about the founding family’s history. From there, the tour explores the brewery itself before finishing up in the Rathskellar Tap Room for an assorted beer and root beer sampling.
