SCHELLS BREWERY

New Ulm, Minnesota Schell’s Brewery is celebrating 150 years of brewing by bringing back home deliveries!

Fashing and Bock Fest

Join us for Fasching and Schell’s Bock Fest on February 13 — something to look forward to amid a long, cold winter:

Fasching is an old carnival tradition that originated in the European Alps to chase away winter. Strips of cloth are strung across downtown Minnesota Street in the German peasant tradition, and the “Narren,” masked characters in colorful costumes, walk the streets inviting people to the party. Held at Turner Hall, Fasching includes music, food and dancing; costumes are encouraged.

Schell’s Bock Fest takes place outdoors on the grounds of Schell’s brewery. Enjoy an award-winning beverage beside a big bonfire and a few thousand friends. The highlight of the day is the Bock Medallion Hunt, when participants use clues to find the “bocks” (a gruff and stubborn goat of winter), to win cash and merchandise prizes.

It is beautiful here in New Ulm. A little cold, but the trees are gorgeous

Beautiful ice-laden trees

Hauntings at the Haus??

The following is an excerpt from BedandBreakfast.com’s article on “Are You Sleeping with a Ghost?”

Beyer Haus, New Ulm, MN: This former funeral parlor is home to a number of spirits. When the innkeepers moved in, they felt taps on the shoulders and heard footsteps, even when no one else was there. A local psychic medium and paranormal investigator was able to shed light on six different spirits: Charlie is a little boy who died in his bed of scarlet fever, yet still runs through the hallways and teases the dog. Another spirit is the former caretaker, still checking on the house. The housekeeper, Claire, keeps things neat and tidy in Maggie’s Room and, and another spirit lives in the basement. A small boy resides primarily in the closet on the third floor, and has been known to hold hands with guests. All spirits love to appear when least expected.

Bed and Breakfast vs. Hotel Stays

Everyone is looking for a deal these days, and there is no shortage of them at B&Bs. A complimentary gourmet  breakfast is always included. Yet, there are lesser-known and equally worthwhile benefits to a B&B stay. In fact, we’ve calculated as much as $180 in savings realized by staying at a B&B as opposed to a Luxury Hotel. Recently, BedandBreakfast.com polled innkeepers to learn about the array of amenities offered at inns and B&Bs throughout the country.  Figures below reflect our survey results. Here’s how the value of B&Bs add up:

- Free breakfasts for two daily (all B&Bs): $50
- Free Wi-Fi access and/or guest computers (nearly 90% of B&Bs): $20
- Free evening refreshments available, wine/beer and appetizers for two (94% of B&Bs): $40
- Tip-free help with luggage & concierge services (restaurant reservations, etc.) (over 65% of B&Bs): $10 
- Fresh flowers in rooms: $20.00

-Early morning coffee service in your room: $15.00

-In-room movies, puzzles, games-$20.00

-Complimentary water, soft drinks, popcorn-access to microwave for all guests-$10.00

Why wouldn’t you choose a Bed and Breakfast??
