Founded in Holland, Michigan, by Brett VanderKamp in 1997, New Holland Brewing Company has become important in the American craft beer and spirits sector. From a small town company to a nationally known brand, the brewery's path shows its dedication to excellence in brewing and innovation. Their beer selection revolves mostly on their trademark Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout, which has developed many variations and a cult following. Ageing in bourbon barrels, this 11% ABV imperial stout highlights the brewery's ability to produce sophisticated, high-alcohol beers. Features flavoured variations including Oatmeal Cookie and S'mores, the Dragon's Milk Reserve collection shows their inventiveness in stretching taste limits.

Beyond Dragon's Milk, New Holland presents a varied selection of beers. Popular selections among their year-round offerings are Tangerine Space Machine (a hazy IPA), Mad Hatter (a Midwest IPA) and The Poet (an oatmeal stout). Complementing their lineup to suit different tastes and seasons, seasonal offerings like Ichabod Pumpkin Ale and Full Circle Kölsch round out it.

Their experimental and barrel-aged series clearly show New Holland's dedication to invention. Various sour ales and beers such as Pilgrim's Dole Wheatwine highlight their eagerness to investigate several methods and brewing processes. The brewery's foray into spirits production in 2005 gives their range another level of complexity - goods like their own bourbon and gin complement their beer line.

The physical presence of New Holland has changed dramatically since its founding. They run several sites, including a manufacturing plant, extra taprooms and restaurants, their original brewery and pub in Holland, Along with their beers, these locations provide complete food menus, therefore providing a whole dining and drinking experience. The brewery's popularity in the craft beer scene and broad American distribution help to mirror its success. Many of their beers, especially in the Dragon's Milk series, have scored highly on beer review sites, suggesting both consumer and critical value.
