Mikes Pastry Review

Brewery Notes. In our Boston Beer Hall, it’s always easy to spot folks that are coming from the North End. In between their beers and pretzels sits the iconic white-and-blue box of Mike’s Pastry, tied together with their signature string and packed with hand-made Italian desserts. A North End institution, Mike’s has been dishing out world-class pastries since 1946, and while our beer has always paired well with their legendary cannolis, we wanted to take that combo to a new level. Made in collaboration with Mike’s Pastry, Mike’s Cannoli Stout was brewed using their hand-made cannoli shells, cocoa nibs, lactose, and vanilla to re-create the flavor profile of their famed dessert – or pair perfectly with if you really want to double down! Previously, their legendary cannolis were just for eating… now they’re for drinking too. Like in 2020, a portion of proceeds for the 2021 release will go to Christmas in the City.
