10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Holland That You Shouldn't Miss

November 3, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Founded by Dutch Calvinists in 1847, the city of Holland, Michigan, is an outpost of Dutch culture and tradition in the midst of the American Midwest, home to dikes, canals and even an authentic Dutch windmill. Proud of its heritage, the city purchased 100,000 tulip bulbs from the Netherlands back in 1927, and these colorful flowers still fill the city's gardens and parks with color annually, just in time for the famous Tulip Time Festival, attended by over half a million people every year.

We made a side trip to Holland on our way up state since we had not been there before. Adorable town! Decided on lunch at the New Holland Brewing Co and were not disappointed. Friendly atmosphere, nice menu and outdoor dining. Cold, delicious beer and tasty food. I would recommend the Whitefish sandwich-yum! Loved our time here-we will return!

Big Lake Brewing

Founded in 2009, we started as the brainchild of three engineers living in Holland, Michigan. Two of us were devoted home brewers for years, working in a garage with a Sabco Brewmagic and perfecting our recipes. That half barrel system eventually turned into a three barrel system in a 3000 square foot pub with sixty seats. With an emphasis on quality ingredients, consistent recipes, and a passion for quality control, our three barrel system soon turned into a seven barrel system with a small canning line. Within three years of opening the pub, demand grew and we opened a production facility with a fifteen barrel brewhouse. A year later we moved out of the 3000 square foot pub into a 7000 square foot brewery with a full kitchen. Growth hasn’t come easy for us, but with a foundation built around quality, consistency, and a passion for good beer, Big Lake Brewing has grown more than we could have imagined and we’re excited to see what the future holds. Live with passion, love life.

We did a quick pit stop after leaving Saugatuk MI. Wish we had more time to hangout and eat. Great customer service starting from the hostess/ manager greeting us as we walked in. Bartender eager and happy to answer any questions we had as well as the server we ended up with at our table sweet and friendly seemed to love their jobs at it showed. Beer was amazing we took home a cotton candy IPA in a beautiful growler along with a souvenir glass. Wish they had tank tops and were dog friendly. We will definitely return next year 2021.
