Story

The New Holland Brewing Battle Creek location includes an inviting outdoor beer garden that seamlessly integrates with the existing brick structure of the main building. Situated in the heart of Battle Creek, coordinating deliveries and staging materials posed logistical challenges due to the limited space. The team had to use an off-site laydown area as they couldn’t stage much within the building footprint. The building itself showcases beautiful architectural finishes, including a standing seam roof and a ceiling liner panel.
