The Schell's Outlaws

 
Code of Outlaws

Meet the Outlaws

The Schell's Outlaws started as a group of members of the Schell's Border Batch Chapter who always seemed to be together at shows and beer functions.  Always having fun, exploring brewery's and brewpubs, searching for that elusive can or piece of breweriana and just having lots of fun.  Someone at a CANvention (circa 2002) dubbed them the Schell's Outlaws and the legend of the Schell's Outlaws grew from there.  Status as a Schell's Outlaw is earned, one must be nominated by an Outlaw and approved by a quorum of Outlaws to become a Schell's Outlaw

What is a Schell's Outlaw
The dictionary defines an outlaw as one who lives outside of the law or on the fringe.  A Schell's Outlaw is one who dares to live outside the norm of brewery collectors and beer lovers.  We go to shows to have fun as well as add to our collections.  We live on the edge of the collectors world.  We dare to barbeque in our hotel rooms.  We drink good beer when we party.  We support our local brewery (A. Schell Brg. Co. New Ulm, MN).

Qualities of a Schell's Outlaw

The image is crafted from the elements of a true outlaw...At the taproom and sampling when the brewery show starts? A rough and rugged type that charms the womenfolk? Willing to drink antique beer from the can it was found in? Would drink Buckhorn Light or Russian Imperial and like em both?

A Schell's Outlaw "fears no beer", brings large quantities of Schell's and deer sausage to serve at Micronite at Canvention. Outlaws are not afraid to rest on table after too many beers. Some Outlaws are addicted to pickles in their beer (legendary Furray Socks). Not afraid to rant about things that get on his one nerve. Typical Outlaw breakfast is Oatmeal Stout while browsing cans at a show. Knows where all the brewpubs and good antique stores are. Outlaws wear their best beer shirts to most occasions. Outlaws even get married in breweries. When visiting another Outlaws house and he has to puke an Outlaw goes across the street to the neighbors lawn to hurl so as not offend one's fellow Outlaw. Outlaws don't let friends drink Bud or other macro beers. And Outlaws always have their bar stocked with quality brews. Outlaws are always in the front row at Bockfest. There may be other qualities for an Outlaw, but I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it so it's time to head to bar for something good.  What is "it" that makes a Schell's Outlaw ??

A Schell's Outlaw does not adhere to the status quo, he bucks authority. He don't give a F*** about nothing. He drinks what he wants, when he wants. He laughs at life and enjoys people who laugh with him. He takes life as is and drives on. I'm a little loaded now, so bear with me here. An Outlaw makes friends easily, but, an Outlaw is not a beer swilling buffoon, he is intelligent enough to know the difference between sh*t and apple butter.

A "noble brewer of RIS and Bock Slayer".

If an outlaw finds a good dump he dives in and isn't worried about permission.
