Schell’s Anniversary Draft Series #6

Just a quick reminder that April 2nd marks the release of Schell’s Anniversary Draft Series #6 as well as the 85th Anniversary of abatement charges against the brewery being dropped during Prohibition. Jace put a page up on the Schell’s website that has two newspaper articles about the trial as well as their transcripts. They’re a bit lengthy, but it gives a little insight into a scary part of Schell’s past and some background about their latest release.
