New Holland Brewing & Distilling Co. Unveils Exciting Dungeons & Dragons Beer Collaboration
This November, Michigan’s New Holland Brewing & Distilling Co. is set to expand its celebrated collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons, blending the worlds of craft beer and fantastical adventures. For fans of both brews and tabletop quests, this exciting partnership ensures that beer and dragons are a perfect combination. On November 8, enthusiasts can expect the return of D20 Brew and Mead Cask Bourbon, each bundled with exclusive dragon-themed collectibles, making them sought-after treasures for both beer connoisseurs and D&D aficionados.
This collaboration, a partnership with Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast, first began in 2024 to honor the 50th anniversary of D&D. It debuted with a Coconut Rum Barrel Reserve, followed by the robust D20 Brew—an imperial stout with a potent 20% ABV. This year’s release continues with the well-received Dragon Turtle, a coconut rum barrel-aged stout, and rounds back to beloved fan favorites like the D20 Brew, promising nostalgia and new experiences alike.
Delve into the Barrel: What’s Brewing?
Leading the lineup is the D20 Brew, a striking bourbon barrel-aged stout that draws inspiration from D&D’s silver dragons. Becoming available nationwide on November 8, this bold stout isn’t just a beverage but an experience. Each purchase includes a special D20 Dice Tower Set, encasing the stout in a unique dice tower along with special-edition dice—truly a must-have for collectors and game enthusiasts. Early releases will be available at New Holland’s brewpubs on November 8, with online availability following on November 17.
For those who prefer spirits, the Mead Cask Bourbon Gift Set makes a return, featuring Dragon’s Milk Bourbon aged in mead casks. Complemented by a unique black dragon theme, this set boasts a custom pour spout and exclusive D&D-inspired packaging, and shares its release dates with the dice tower set. Such thoughtful packaging makes these offerings as memorable as they are delicious.
Brewing a Legacy: Dragon’s Milk Origin
Brett VanderKamp, CEO and founder of New Holland, expresses his excitement for the ongoing collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons: “Our partnership with DUNGEONS & DRAGONS has created unique offerings that bring fans together in memorable ways. The return of D20 and Mead Cask Bourbon celebrates community, storytelling, and the magical experiences both brands inspire.” With last year’s editions selling out quickly, these limited releases are anticipated to follow suit, showcasing the magic that can happen when different realms intersect at the tavern table.
The D20 Brew and Mead Cask Bourbon will be offered in 750ml bottles and sport a sleek wax-dipped finish. At 20% ABV, these barrel-aged delights are perfect for collectors and brew lovers ready to embark on a taste adventure.
