A list of all the Schell’s Brewing Company beers to be voted on to determine the best flavor from the brewery. The beers are from the seasonal collection, the original collection, Schell’s year round craft beers, the draft series and the beers from the grain belt.

The list poses the question, “What is the best beer from the Schell’s Brewing Company?” Each beer flavor has a picture of the beer to determine what the bottle looks like or the anniversary logo for the draft beer series. The Schell’s beer flavors also have the alcohol percentage of the beer next to each name. Beers such as Schell’s Bock, Schell’s Schmaltz’s Alt and Schell’s Grain Belt Premium and many more can be voted on to have the best flavor.

The owner of the company, August Schell, was from Durbach, Germany, and migrated to the United States. The brewery was started in 1860 in Ulm, Minnesota and is considered one of America’s oldest family-owned breweries, behind D. G. Yuengling & Sons. It became the largest brewery in Minnesota when the company bought the Grain Belt in 2002. Schell’s Brewing Company celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2010.
