Schell's Border Batch
We're celebrating 45 years of collecting fun and friends. Join us in the search for great breweriana, beer and fellowship with kindred spirits.
About us.
We are a local chapter of all three national breweriana collector clubs: The National Association Breweriana Advertising (NABA), The American Breweriana Association (ABA) and The Brewery Collectibles Club of America (BCCA). We conduct local shows in southern Minnesota for our members and the general public to be able to buy-sell-trade and add to their collections.
