We make no secret of our fondness for Schells Beer, and so our heart is cheered this dark winter morning to read in 999,999 cases of Schell’s and still brewing that the brewery will put out its millionth case of beer tomorrow.
And the New Ulm Journal tells us that the brew to get the honor is one of our favorites:
Schmaltz’s Alt, which is named after Ted Marti’s father, Warren “Schmaltz” Marti, is the Schell’s craft brew that will have the honor of being in the Millionth Case. It is the only beer Schell’s makes that is named after one of its former presidents.
Ted Marti said “Schmaltz” led the company though some of its toughest times in the late 1960s, when many family-owned breweries were going out of business and facing competition from ‘the big guys.’
We demand a congressional resolution to commemorate the occasion. And a bottle opener.
