Schell’s Brewery Tour – A Copper Kettle and Free Beer

 

 

My brother was in town for two weeks and we went down to Sleepy Eye, MN to visit Grandma. One of my cousins took us to New Ulm for a tour of Schell’s Brewery. I’m not sure if I would call it much of a tour, they talked about how the control of the brewery was passed down thru the family, then showed us a large copper kettle that cost $25,000 way back around 1885 (when the family mansion cost $5,000 just a few years before), and then gave us a beer taste test. LOL Not much of a tour. I would have liked to see more of the process of brewing. Maybe there are too many secrets in there…

 

 

 

We were able to try about 6 different beers they brew and then we could pick any flavor and get a full class of beer of that. I didn’t care for too many of them, Firebrick was about the only one I cared for.
