The August Schell Brewing Company is a brewing company in New Ulm, Minnesota, that was founded by German immigrant August Schell in 1860.^[3] It is the second oldest family-owned brewery in America (after D. G. Yuengling & Son)^[4] and became the oldest and largest brewery in Minnesota when the company bought the Grain Belt rights in 2002.^[3] In September 2010, the brewery celebrated its 150th anniversary with a two-day festival. Every year, Schell's also celebrates traditional German holidays with Bock Fest and Oktoberfest.^[5] The current brewery is owned and operated by the August Schell Brewing Company, a Minnesota corporation that was incorporated in 1902.^[6]
