“Harpoon Mike’s Pastry Cannoli Stout will be a rich, full bodied beer that our cannoli-lovers will cherish – on its own or between bites of their favorite Mike’s Pastry dessert.” “This is the first ever beer made with Mike’s Pastry cannolis and we’re honored to have had the opportunity to partner with Harpoon Brewery to create it,” said Joseph Papa, one of the family owners of Mike’s Pastry. “One of our brewers had the original idea of a cannoli stout as a way to honor his Italian-American heritage, and there was no better partner to do it with than a Boston institution like Mike’s Pastry.” “Our brewery is just a couple miles from the North End, where people come from far and wide for Mike’s Pastry cannolis, and we have always loved seeing the classic white-and-blue boxes in our beer hall,” said Dan Kenary, CEO and co-founder of Harpoon Brewery. Along with some slightly sweet toasted malts, all the specialty ingredients combine to make a complex but perfectly approachable milk stout. The 7.3% ABV beer is made with Mike’s Pastry’s hand-made cannoli shells, cocoa nibs, lactose and vanilla, re-creating the flavor profile of their famed dessert.Ĭacao and dark roasted malts offer pronounced notes of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and mocha, while the lactose and vanilla give the beer a creamy mouthfeel and ricotta-like sweetness. According to BrewBound, Nothing says Boston like a cannoli and a craft beer, and that’s why Harpoon Brewery is partnering with Mike’s Pastry, the world famous pastry shop, to brew up a limited release beer that pairs this delicious combo in a whole new way: Harpoon Mike’s Pastry Cannoli Stout.
