New Holland Dragon’s Milk Rolls a d20 with more Dungeons & Dragons releases

New Holland Brewing & Distilling Co. is expanding its Dungeons & Dragons collaboration lineup this November, continuing to prove that beer and dragons (and dungeons) is a perfect match.

The Michigan brewery announced this week that both D20 Brew and Mead Cask Bourbon will return to shelves starting November 8, each packaged with enough dragon-themed collectibles to make your quest rewards even more desirable.

This marks the latest chapter in what is officially a full-fledged partnership between New Holland and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast. As we covered in August, the collaboration kicked off in 2024 to celebrate D&D’s 50th anniversary with a Coconut Rum Barrel Reserve, followed by the high-octane D20 Brew at 20% ABV. This year’s Dragon Turtle release continued the narrative with another coconut rum barrel-aged stout and now the brewery is circling back to bring fan favorites out of the vault.

What’s in the Barrel

D20 Brew leads the charge—a bourbon barrel-aged stout that pays homage to silver dragons from D&D lore. The beer hits retail nationwide November 8, but besides the boozy prize in the bottle, the release includes a D20 Dice Tower Set, which packages the stout inside a custom dice tower complete with special-edition dice. That collector’s edition drops at New Holland brewpubs November 8 and online November 17.

For the spirits crowd, the Mead Cask Bourbon Gift Set returns with Dragon’s Milk Bourbon finished in mead casks. This black dragon-themed release comes boxed with a custom pour spout and exclusive D&D packaging, available at the same locations and dates as the dice tower set.

“Our collaboration with DUNGEONS & DRAGONS has allowed us to craft unique offerings that bring fans together at the table in new and memorable ways. The return of D20 and Mead Cask Bourbon is a celebration of community, storytelling, and the legendary experiences that both brands inspire.” said Brett VanderKamp, CEO and founder, New Holland

Last year’s inaugural partnership sold out quite quickly, and these limited editions are sure to do so as well. The collaboration between Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast and New Holland proves that sometimes the best campaigns happen when two completely different worlds meet at the tavern.

Style: Imperial Stout (Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)
Availability: 750ml Bottles, Wax Dipped.
Debut: 11/8/25

20% ABV

Round Trip Brewing First Orbit, their 1st Anniversary beer

Atlanta, Georgia’s Round Trip Brewing is releasing First Orbit, the brewery’s 1st Anniversary release. 

The beer is a fusion of ingredients and techniques of a German-style Doppelbock and Belgian-style Quadruple. Took part of the mash and boiled it with dark candy sugar (called decoction mash) and returned it back to the main mash. 

The beer was then fermented at cold temperatures and lagered for six weeks using Round Trip’s house lager yeast and Magnum and Tettnang hops. 

After lagering for six weeks, the out-of-this-world fusion is a bold, malt-forward interstellar beer that is one giant leap for mankind.

The brewery celebrates its first anniversary on Saturday, March 12th. (Click for event details)

Round Trip First Orbit will be available in 12-ounce cans in 2-packs, in a unique stacked box. 

Style: Strong Ale 
Hops: Magnum, Tettnang

POG: New Realm Tropic Dream launches year-round

New Realm Tropic Dream, a fruited wheat ale, joins the brewery’s lineup year-round in March 2022. 

Tropic Dream is a “POG” beer – aka Passionfruit Orange Guava. If POG brings up flashbacks of the milk cap game from the 90’s there’s a reason. The POG drink dates back to creator and product consultant Mary Soon, who worked for Haleakala Dairy in Hawaii in 1971. The caps to the milk bottles spawned the 1990’s milk cap game. Interestingly, the original POG drink was never sold with cardboard caps, but the dairy gave the caps with the POG logo as promotional items in the 70’s. A teacher in the 1990’s was using the milk caps as a counting aid in the classroom, brought up this milk cap game she used to play, and well- it all really caught on. The 90’s kid fights over collectible POGs began. 

As for this “POG,” New Realm’s Mitch Steele and brewing team brewed up something tropical, using fresh blood orange, passionfruit and guava juices. The final recipe was decided after eight different fruited wheat batches. POG goes together for a reason, apparently. 

Tropic Dream has a prominent tropical fruit character, with a slight tartness and smooth finish. It’s light, refreshing, and a beer that we are really proud of.” – Mitch Steele

New Realm Tropic Dream is available at all brewery locations now, with 12-ounce cans launching the first week of March. 

Style: Fruit Beer (w/ Passionfruit. Blood Orange. Guava.)
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft. Seasonal Release.
