Best around the Twin Cities
It’s time for Bockfest at Schell’s Brewery in New Ulm, Minnesota. As the Minneapolis Star Tribune notes:
It doesn’t get much more Minnesotan than this. Held every winter in German Lenten tradition — and in absolute defiance of the weather — this daylong outdoor bash takes place at the brewery in the hills overlooking New Ulm. There are brats on the grill, an oom-pah band on stage and all the Schell’s brands on tap. It’s almost like a summer cookout, except for the fact that your fingers might break off. Part of the mystique is the brewery itself, opened in 1860. Schell’s is the second-oldest family-owned beermaker in the United States. With a dedicated consumer base like this, it’s no wonder it’s still around.
A good excuse for the newspaper to compile a list of “The 10 best beer experiences around the Twin Cities.”
