🌍 United States · Amber Lager · One of 3 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

Schell's flagship amber lager — a Minnesota classic since 1984. Toasted caramel malt, a touch of honey sweetness and noble hop spice in a crisp, clean German-American lager frame. The beer that put New Ulm on the craft map before craft was a word.
