Jay is known by many other alias which can be seen elsewhere on this website.

Teri "The Beer Chef" Martin - Teri is always cooking up great things with beer to eat with beer.  Teri does a little something called "The show" and it's a little spicy if you know what I mean!  The neighbors love to watch her put on the show too.  She loves all kinds of beer except for pale ales.  You gotta love that quality in a woman, right Jay.  She also holds the very important title of designated driver.

Charles "in charge" Martin - One of the youngest collectors in the hobby.  Charles has seen more CANventions and trade shows than many adults in the hobby. He loves to go to the shows and root beer is his drink.  He was even spotted hangin with Kid Rock at CANvention 04.  And that's no Bull Schmidt!

The Next Generation of Outlaws

Vance "Sir-Vance-A-Lot" Donner - Vance is the noble home brewer of the Outlaws.  In his Donner-Brau Brewery he cooks up brews like Cinnamon-Oatmeal Stout, Russian Imperial Stout, California Common and many other fine brews which we are always willing to help him drink.  He's also a Schell's man.  Which makes him a good man.  He likes a good Double IPA for breakfast on Saturday and likes a good party or beerey event.

Dave "Denver" Nelson - Dave is known throughout Minnesota as the plumber who looks most like John Denver.  He's always spotting breweriana as he forages in peoples basements.  He is great supporter of the Border Batch and never misses an event.  Dave is also the "poker" at Bockfest. 

Barry Travis - Barry is known as the "The Creative One".  His artwork adorns our newsletter, website and show flyers.  He created our new Border Batch logo and the Schell's Outlaw logo.  His work is also found in the Northstar News and the BCCA Magazine.  He also does various entertainment gigs and you should see him karaoke.  He does a mean version of Mustang Sally.  Always searching for that next elusive piece of breweriana or can.  He gives a lot back to the hobby with his art and creativity.

Duane "Dewey" Schmidt - Dewey is a newcomer to the hobby but the "force is with him".  He has already brought in a new member and he has the Outlaw spirit.  You will find him front and center at Bockfest with beer in hand.  He enjoys the hobby and is learning fast about the Outlaw ways.

Mark "Stubie Do" Stueber -  Stube is the clown prince of beer.  He is a one man party just waiting to happen.  Give him a bottle of 100 proof schnapps and a case Schell's and lookout.  No seriously "look out"!  Just ask Beer Dave or the hotel desk clerk at Guzzle 2004, or the taxi driver that took him back to his hotel.  He also is Moe one of the Bockstooges.  On the serious side Mark is a true Outlaw.  He hosts the Outlaw Christmas party at his place, he is donating an antique Schell's neon to the be raffled off  by the chapter and he is arranging a place in the woods (anyone hear dueling banjos?) near New Ulm for a Border Batch Bash this fall.  He truly has the Outlaw spirit within. 

Ted Marti - The Ultimate Outlaw!  Ted is a 5th generation descendant of August Schell.  Ted and his ancestors are part of the reason we are all here in the first place.  In Outlaw fashion Ted runs a small regional brewery in a small Minnesota town.  He continues to stand up the big beer barrons who have run most of his contemporaries out of business a long time ago.  He maintains Schell Brg. Co. as an independent family owned business.  He makes the kind of beers the big boys can't even dream about, plus Schell's Original.  And recently when Minnesota Brg. Co. went bankrupt, Ted purchased the Grain Belt label and is preserving it's Minnesota heritage as well as it's great taste.  Were it not for Ted and Schell's the Border Batch and Outlaws would have no home and no namesake brewery.  Prosit!

Bob "Beer Can" Keenan - Bob has been around the hobby since the early days.  He was in the liqour business and had his own line of Bob's Special beer cans.  He was a familar face at all the area shows and truly had the Outlaw Spirit.  Sadly Bob passed away in August 2005 just days before the Leinenkugel's show. 
Gary Pelletier - Gary is a fun loving collector who makes it to every show that he able to get to.  He is always making donations to help out the chapter and the hobby.  He has the Outlaw Spirit and does all he can to pitch in and help out with shows.  He likes good beer and good time with good friends.
Justin "Beano" Terwilliger - Justin has been attending shows with his father (Tom) since he was about 10 years old.  Butz Palmer got his collection started with some cans after the Schell's show one year.  He wrote his first newsletter article when he was 11 years old.  He loves Grain Belt and Schell's and trying new beers.  He was born to be an Outlaw.
Dave "Patterwiggle" Patterson - Also known as DP.  Dave is the quiet one.  Always there just having fun and collecting those Minnesota common cans in every variation he can find.  Loves a good beer and does all he can to participate and help the chapter.  A true Schell's Outlaw!
Robert "Butz" Palmer - Butz is an original charter member of the Border Batch.  He's been collecting for years and is well known in the beer can and breweriana hobby.  He's also one of the infamous Concord Singers that performed at CANvention in 1982 in Mpls, MN.  Butz has helped get youngsters started collecting by giving them cans and things to start their collections.  He and his wife Janet are always in attendance at Border Batch events and do whatever they can to help the chapter.
 
Steve "The Hamm's Bear" & Sue "Mama Bear" Miner - Steve is one of the founding members of the Schell's Border Batch.  His wife Sue has been there with him through 25 plus years of collecting and having fun.  They are always ready to help the chapter and great supporters of  chapter events and functions.  Obviously by their nicknames you can guess what they collect.
Bryan "Beer Goggles" Madsen
Bryan is the Brewer/Outlaw. He considers these two pursuit’s the most worthy endeavors one can aspire towards in life. Bryan enjoys countless hours in his home brewery & writes the dryly sarcastic column “Life Through Beer Goggles” for the newsletter. Bryan is a serious daydreamer & would someday like to bring his fantasy Brewpub/Bar - The Thin line - to fruition. Bryan also day dreams about being a heavy metal star. He’s also been known to climb a roof or two after a beer or three.
Ben Malloy
Ben has some of the most diversely eclectic interests - in fact far too many to begin listing here. He can be a quiet Outlaw until you get him rolling on one of his many interests, hobbies, or wild plans. He is also co-daydreamer in the Thinline Brewpub/Bar concept. Ben is frequently easily identified by his rather appropriate leather “Outlaw” hat.
