(Holland, MI) – New Holland Brewing kicked off its brand-new Cellar Series at the Michigan Brewers Guild Winter Beer Fest this afternoon.

The first in this limited series is New Holland Envious. According to the brewery’s Facebook page, “Envious is a unique beer, a hybrid of many techniques. Its high-gravity malt-fermented base is blended with Michigan pear juice and chardonnay yeast for a second fermentation, before being aged with raspberries and oak. Unlike any style or beer before it, it must be tasted to be appreciated. Envious will be available on draught at select establishments later in the month, and 22-ounce, foil-necked bottles are scheduled to hit the streets on April 1st.”

Additional back label info:

ABV: 7.5%, 19 Deg. Plato
Pairings: Charcuterie, roasted poultry, grilled stone fruits

It appears as though Blue Sunday Sour Ale may come next in the series since that one has received label approval as well though this is unconfirmed.
