Schell's Brewery

We took a small detour to New Ulm on the way back from Mankato on Sunday to check out the Schell's Brewery tour. The last time Aimee and I stopped at Schell's they did not have the tours that day. I must say that I was pretty disappointed with the Schell's tour. The tour starts in the museum with a 10 minute intro and history of the brewery. Next you go outside and they give you some history about the brewery grounds such as the houses and the creek where they got the water for the brewing process. Then you go inside one of the builds which looked like it was patched with Mighty Putty. I mean this building was very rickety and they should give you a hard hat to go inside. Inside the building you only get to view one copper kettle and you are pretty much done. Of course you get to do the taste testing but I wanted to see more of the inside of the brewery. The most entertaining part of the tour was the crazy long haired hippie lady that clearly had long-term psychoemotional effects from her years of LSD addiction. Heck, she may have been tripping balls during the brewery tour, who knows.
