Production & Heritage

New Holland Brewing Company was founded in 1997 in Holland, Michigan, and has grown into one of the state's most recognized craft breweries. The seasonal program rotates styles throughout the year, with releases tailored to the drinking season — lighter, fruit-forward ales in warmer months and richer, spice-driven or malt-forward brews in fall and winter. Notable past seasonal releases include Ichabod Pumpkin Ale, brewed with real pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg at a sessionable 4.5% ABV, and Cabin Fever Brown Ale for the colder months. Each seasonal expression is brewed in small batches, reflecting the brewery's commitment to style-appropriate ingredients and brewing techniques.

Tasting Notes

Because the contents of this six-pack rotate by season, flavor profiles shift accordingly. The following notes reflect the general character of New Holland's seasonal range:

Aroma: Expect seasonally driven aromatics — autumn releases lean toward baking spices, caramel malt, and pumpkin, while spring and summer editions tend toward citrus, stone fruit, and floral hops. Each release presents a distinct nose true to its style.

Taste: New Holland's seasonals typically feature a clean malt backbone with moderate sweetness. Fall and winter releases, such as Ichabod, deliver bready malt with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and subtle pumpkin, while warmer-weather seasonals showcase brighter hop character and lighter grain bills. Mid-palate complexity is a hallmark across the range.

Finish: Finishes range from crisp and dry in the summer offerings to warming and spice-lingering in the colder-weather releases. Regardless of style, the brewery favors balanced, drinkable finishes rather than heavy or cloying endings.

How to Drink New Holland Seasonal

These beers are best enjoyed fresh and chilled to style-appropriate temperatures — lighter seasonals around 40–45°F, darker or spiced releases around 45–50°F. Pour into a tulip glass or pint glass to appreciate the aromatics of each release. The fall Ichabod Pumpkin Ale pairs well in a Michelada-style build with tomato juice and warm spices. Summer seasonals work in a Radler with fresh lemon juice and a touch of simple syrup. Malt-forward winter releases can stand in for porter or brown ale in a Beer Float alongside vanilla ice cream.
