Unbelievable that this is my first run at New Holland in Holland, MI. I have been to their Knickerbocker spot in Grand Rapids, but it was time to go to the source. Good vibes, my friends. I really dig that it feels small and small-town-ish and OG even though the place is constantly swamped with people coming through on the weekends and in the summer. Ang and I sat at the bar and got down to business, and I am super-happy with their beers I hadn’t had before, which were few and far between. That Lake & Trail copper lager is hella beachable, and I appreciate that it’s a collab with Woosah Outfitters and REI that supports Michigan state parks. Ang and I also tried the 11% maple oak BBA and 17% triple mash BBA variants of their Dragon’s Milk Stout, and they’re bonkers. The maple was a bit sweet for me, but hoooahhhhhhh mama that 17%-er is my jammy jam. Tastes like I wouldn’t need a winter coat, or a snowblower, or any clothes really. And in the summer, it tastes like extra drunk but actually has a flavor profile as well. Shouts to these OGs for keeping shit lit in these godforsaken times of fuckerosity. Thanks to Brad, Maea, and Bridget for the good times. 👌 - Ryan
