August Schell 2010 Snowstorm Dunkel Doppel Weizenbock
Much like snowflakes, no two Snowstorm beers are alike. Once a year, our brewmasters lock themselves in the testing room with a secret selection of fine malts and hops, only emerging when they’ve hit upon something truly extraordinary. Some of our past Snowstorm recipes, like Firebrick, proved so popular, we started brewing them year-round. Look for a special new batch of Snowstorm every season, available in November, December, and January or while supplies last.

August Schell Brewing Company
In 1999, the brewery invested in their growth by adding a new state-of-the-art brewhouse. With four, imported, stainless steel kettles, each operating a different stage of the brewing process, Schell’s improved their efficiency and quality. In 2002, Schell’s acquired 109 year-old Grain Belt beer, in effect saving this legendary Minnesota beer from extinction. With the addition of Grain Belt, Schell’s became the largest brewery in terms of gallonage in Minnesota and remains the oldest brewery in Minnesota. And while 140 years have slipped by since the first barrel of beer rolled off the docks at Schell’s, one thing hasn’t changed—the family’s passion for brewing beers with substance.

Anchor Christmas Ale
The brewers of Anchor Steam® Beer are proud to announce the release of our thirty-sixth annual “Christmas Ale.” Every year since 1975 the brewers at Anchor have brewed a distinctive and unique “Christmas Ale,” which is available from early November to mid-January. The Ale’s recipe is different every year—as is the tree on the label—but the intent with which we offer it remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life. Since ancient times, trees have symbolized the winter solstice when the earth, with its seasons, appears born anew.
