Schell Lakemaid
May 26th thru June 1st
Brewer's Description
Lakemaid Beer is a limited release brew from August Schell Brewing Company and Rapala. Brewed in Schell's old world tradition, this classic American lager is a crisp, clean, refreshing beer, specially brewed to capture the flavor of the fishing country were the legendary Lakemaids swim.
With a mild malt flavor like a soft summer breeze and the sparkle of hops that dances like sun on the water, this is the ice cold beer with a taste so good it proves that great fishermen never need to exaggerate.

selah says No, what I have is a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all cost.

I got Miss Catfish — a lithe, slippery creature with a sneering grin and a pair of enormous shades a la Nicole Richie. I love the label, though I’ll admit I was hoping for something a bit more Daryl Hannah.
Typical of my experience with Schell’s brews, I found this a functional beverage, neither offensive nor remarkable. But then I’m not much of a lager drinker, excluding session (read binge) drinking, and in such cases, I reach for the cheap stuff. Nevertheless, I’m a sucker for marketing gimmicks (I even drank OK Soda once), and tip my hat to Augie Schell for rousing my latent ichthyophilia.

Miss Catfish would be a cool character, like the quirky-hot punk girl who acts too tough to approach. I snagged Miss Walleye, which is like landing the most popular girl in school – a raging egomaniac drunk from the attention she gets and how delicious her fried fillets are. Miss Sturgeon would be your best friend – strong and well grounded in her surroundings. Bonus: she’d make caviar for a living.
