For nearly 13 years Fred Bueltmann, New Holland Brewing Company partner and vice president of brand and lifestyle, has helped lead the company’s growth into a world class brewery, distillery and restaurant operation with strong brand recognition. Effective August 31, Bueltmann will step down from his role at New Holland Brewing to pursue new project highlighting the nation’s cultural shift toward a “craft renaissance.”
Bueltmann is currently completing the book, This Craft Nation, and will invest time into expanding more ways to inspire, develop and advocate for the craft lifestyle. He will remain with New Holland’s Board of Advisors and serve as an independent consultant.
In a statement released to employees, Bueltmann said, “I am incredibly grateful for the good fortune and friendships, lessons and support I have enjoyed during my time at New Holland.”
New Holland’s Co-founder and President Brett Vanderkamp said, “I know it goes without saying that Fred’s leadership, guidance and respect in the industry has been a remarkable asset to me personally the company. I wish Fred well on his new exciting venture.”
