This just in! Some geniuses got together and created (drum roll)...Cannoli Stout! How is this even possible. And pinch me, I must be dreaming.

Seriously, what a sweet idea. A Boston based brewery teaming up with an iconic North End pastry shop. Brilliant. According to cbslocal.com,

the 7.3% ABV beer is brewed with ground cocoa beans, vanilla and handmade cannoli shells. Holy cannoli that sounds amazing!

More good news: The launch party happens Thursday, February 27 (which happens to be my birthday- if you are looking for ideas) from 7:30-9:30 at Harpoon's Boston Beer Hall.

After the launch the special brew will be available for a limited time on draft and in 16 oz 4 packs.

A portion of sales are being donated to Christmas In The City,  a Boston charity near to our hearts as you helped us collect toys for them at our Holiday Jam this past September. The charity helps families experiencing homelessness and poverty.
