I was at the annual Spring MBAA meeting at Schell’s not long ago – where the technical subject for the evening was malt, which is always a thing I enjoy learning more about. Certainly more than, say, NA beer or THC production. No offense.
Other than the cheesy potatoes and the inevitable post-meeting beer at the B&L Bar, the highlight of this meeting every year is getting to peek under the hood of August Schell Brewing Company, which is an absolute national treasure that you should all go see with your own eyes if you haven’t.
While admiring their 120-ish (I think?) kettle from the 1890s – in use until the 1990s! – I noticed that the stack is primarily composed of the most majestic Double Elbow I have ever seen.
Speechless.
