August Schell Brewing

The August Schell Brewing Company remains the second oldest family-owned and managed brewery in the United States. All of the stockholders and board members are direct descendents of August Schell (or spouses of them). Listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, the brewery and its grounds are open to the public and visited by thousands each year.

There’s an old saying “Never trust a brewery under 140 years old.” Okay, it’s our old saying, but it’s true, nonetheless. Schell’s is the second oldest family-owned brewery in the country. While breweries and beer trends have come and gone, we’ve been right here, tirelessly brewing fine lagers and ales for the people who appreciate them. Visit our brewery grounds and you’ll see deer, roaming peacocks, gnomes, not to mention barrel after barrel of the finest beers imaginable. That’s just who we are, as it has been for over a century.
