Meet Our Sponsor – August Schell Brewing Co.
What’s so awesome about August Schell Brewing Company?
It’s easier to say what’s not awesome about our company.

Our 158 year old brewery is located in the hills on the edge of New Ulm, MN. We specialize in German-style craft beers as a way to keep true to our German heritage.
Meet Our Sponsor – Summit Brewing Company
What’s so awesome about Summit Brewing Company?
What’s not awesome about Summit? 33 years of making quality-driven, approachable craft beers. We’re proud and fortunate to share those beers with the great state of Iowa and its people. Our company might be somewhat large; however, we operate as a tight-knit family. We love people, beer and the environment, in no particular order. Plain and simple “We’re your favorite brewery’s favorite brewery.”
Meet Our Sponsor – Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
What’s so awesome about Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.?
There was no such thing as craft beer in 1980, so, with just a few thousand dollars and some used dairy equipment, Ken Grossman founded Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. The success of Ken’s award winning ales propelled him from homebrewer to craft brewer. Today, Ken and his family still own 100% of the company — one of the most successful independent craft breweries in America.
