A great place to sample Schell's beers is in the tap room at the end of a brewery tour. Tours are only $2 per person and it's quite informational with sampling included. Afterwards you can take a full glass of Schells and roam the garden.

A great time is had at the Schells Brewery outdoors at Bockfest. Schell's Bock, light and Grain Belt are on tap, the Bockfest boys play great music on the loading dock and hearty German food is available. This is always the same weekend as Marti Gras. So dress warm.

The BCCA national show known as CANvention has Micronight on the Thursday evening of the show. It usually features 20 to 30 local and regional brews consumed by members in attendance until it's gone! This alone is a great reason to be at CANvention.

There are 14 taps in the B & L and 7 of them tap Schell's products. Plus most everything from Schell's in bottles and sometimes you might even bump into Schell's President and Brewmaster Ted Marti (middle) like Jay and I did one festing afternoon.

The Town Pump in Chippewa Falls is a cool place to enjoy the local beer. The sign on the side of building should tell what that beer is, and inside there's lots cool Leinie's breweriana to look at while enjoying a cold Leinie with the locals.

The Town Hall what a great place. Located near the University of Minnesota. The food is great and so are the beers! I personally recommend the Scotch Ale. Take home a growler and enjoy.

If you ever get the chance to have one in Sir Vance A Lot's brewpub try the Russian Imperial Stout.
