Pastry

Pastry Stouts have an interesting characteristic: they often incorporate ingredients not commonly associated with brewing, like vanilla beans, maple syrup, or even marshmallows.

This experimental approach showcases the creativity of modern American craft brewers. The style’s name draws a direct line to the sweet pastries and confections that inspire its flavors.

For the best experience, let a Pastry Stout warm to around room temperature to allow its multilayered flavors to develop. This beer shines as a dessert beer, pairing wonderfully with rich chocolate cake or creamy cheesecake. The fullness and sweetness of Pastry Stouts balance well with creaminess, creating a delightful end to any meal
