What does AUGUST SCHELL BREWING CO Own?
August Schell Brewing Company is a beer brand that was founded in 1860 by August Schell, a German machinist, and Jacob Bernhardt, a brewer. Located in the city of New Ulm, Minnesota, it is one of the oldest family-owned breweries in the United States. In 1866, Schell bought out Bernhardt’s share, and the brewery has remained in the Schell family ever since. The brewery is currently operated by Jace Marti, August Schell’s great-great-great-grandson. In 2002, the brewery purchased Grain Belt Brewing, the other historic brewery in Minnesota, making them the largest and oldest brewery in the state.
