The Maple Old Fashioned is subtle, sweet, and just right for fall.

New Holland’s signature stout features roasted malt with notes of coffee and chocolate. After a three-month stay in bourbon barrels, this rich, creamy stout carries undertones of vanilla and oak.

This week’s cocktail squeezes some heat out of the last bit of summer. The Michelada combines the flavor of a light beer with ingredients usually found in a Bloody Mary.

The Michelada isn’t for everyone, but we’ve found it’s best enjoyed on a late summer evening.
