New Holland Brewing Company and Dungeons & Dragons have been offering craft brews for several years now. To celebrate the continued partnership, New Holland is launching the D20 Brew Brass Dragon Edition and the return of the Origin Mead Cask Bourbon:
Following the summer pub debut of Coconut Rum Barrel Reserve Stout, New Holland Brewing Company is officially launching the next phase in its celebrated collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), under license from Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro. Starting September 18, select retail stores nationwide will begin receiving the D20 Brew and on October 16th the Origin Mead Cask Bourbon. This launch also marks the official opening of presales for exclusive limited-edition merchandise, including the highly anticipated D20 Dice Tower Set.
Building on three years of shared storytelling and craft innovation, this season’s releases offer curated expressions designed for tabletop gatherers, collectors, and beverage enthusiasts alike. The lineup features the D20 Brew, a bold bourbon barrel-aged stout that draws inspiration from the gregarious brass dragon of Dungeons & Dragons lore. Aged in signature Dragon’s Milk barrels, D20 Brew delivers complex layers of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and oak warmth, making it a standout centerpiece for game nights.
Alongside the stout, New Holland is bringing back the Origin Mead Cask Bourbon Gift Set. Honoring the legendary blue dragon, this limited-edition expression features Dragon’s Milk Origin Small Batch Bourbon finished in house-made mead casks. Named ‘Best of 2024’ by Breaking Bourbon, the 2026 gift set returns complete with custom Dungeons & Dragons packaging and an exclusive blue dragon-themed pour spout and pour spout stand.
For tabletop players and collectors, the flagship merchandise item encases a bottle of D20 Brew inside a custom-crafted, functional dice tower paired with special-edition brass gaming dice. Presales for the Dice Tower set and accompanying apparel starts now at brewpub locations and through the brewery's online channel.
Brett Vanderkamp, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of New Holland Brewing Company, emphasized how this phase of the launch deepens the connection between craft brewing and the gaming community. "When we look at how this partnership has evolved into its third year, our focus is on giving fans tangible ways to enhance their game night experience," said Vanderkamp. "Moving from our initial pub releases into full retail availability and launching the Dice Tower presale allows us to bring a piece of this legendary lore directly to the tables where stories are being created every week."
D20 Brew and Origin Mead Cask Bourbon Gift Sets will be available for online purchase starting October 23. Local fans can also purchase bottles, gift sets, and merchandise directly at New Holland brewpubs and tasting rooms across West Michigan. All limited-edition beverages and merchandise sets are produced in restricted quantities and will be available only while supplies last.
