New Holland Brewing Co.

I haven't written in a couple weeks, I apologize. I've been prepping for the holidays, and am now ready to get back to business.

New Holland Brewing Co. in Holland, MI features a full menu as well as several beers on tap. Located at 66 East 8th Street and featuring a family fun atmosphere, this beer pub is a must-stop brewery for those in the area. The merchandise is great, too - we purchased up a 1 liter "beer boot" at the bar.

I ordered a Margherita pizza and a Mother's Milk - a sweet milk stout. It had rich malty flavor with hints of coffee, chocolate, and raisin. This beer had a slight sweetness to it due to lactose being added to the boil kettle in the brewing process. Yeast consume sugars in the fermentation process to create alcohol yet yeast does not consume lactose, leaving the sweet flavor behind (pictured with the Hopivore).

If you can't make it to Holland, the brewery has several events where they take their beer on the road:
