What even is Pastry Stout? | The Craft Beer Channel 

I always felt that Evil Twin Biscotti Break really defined "pastry stouts" in that they didn't advertise it as an adjunct stout like Cigar City, etc., but instead advertised it as a bridging between sweeter type food and beer, which I think is the real line between "adjunct stout" and "pastry stout".

FILA jacket is on point, Brad. Another great video, guys.

I could listen to Henok talk about beer all day!!

I had the pleasure of trying both Bianca and a locally made slushy that were served in the first Tel Aviv Craft Beer Festival last week. What a time to be alive for a beer lover!

Brad looking absolutely DECADENT in that jumper! Also really looking forward to the next homebrew video, have been thoroughly enjoying those.

Amundsen probably deserved a mention (would argue even more than Mikkeller) there with their Dessert in a can series. I do love a good Pastry Stout from time to time... it's crazy to see how some "puritans" go on a rant against them sometimes. Some people just don't like fun.

I hate sweet beers but I'm glad these beers exist and make someone else happy. Cheers! Great vid as always!

Looking forward to checking out how the brew day went! Some tasty looking beer in this video! Cheers!

Kind of reminds me of the collaberation between Rogue Ales and Voodoo Donuts a number of years ago. A lot of people seemed to hate those as "novelty beers" but I loved them.

Henok seems like a good bloke, no real ego he just seems happy to talk about beer! I'm going off the style a bit having previously loved it, I find that once they go over 10% abv they get really hit and miss, even a lot of acclaimed beers I personally don't find balanced. I think 7% is the sweet spot where you can get a good body and a lot of flavours.

Guys I love your content and I’m so grateful with you guys putting out content every week for us geeks, because thanks that I’m absorbing knowledge threw your videos I was able to land a dream job as a customer service at The Wine Factory here in New Westminster BC, Canada. I’m helping people brew their own wine, ciders & the controversial hard seltzers for us beer geeks. Please keep the great content that you’re helping us geeks more than you think.

I wish I could smell the beers you had there. Wow And might I add, Henrik is the epitome of a great host. What a gentleman cracking that Närke! Cheers!!!

Congratulations guys! I love to watch your videos! You two are the best!

1) No Evil Twin mention? Imperial Biscotti Break was my first 'pastry', back in '08 or '09. I wasn't making much $ back then but when i mustered the courage to pay whatever it was I paid for the bomber couldn't have been more thrilled. Savored it for hours. 2) Angry Chair is not play'n around with the stouts. Was able to visit for the 1st time in Feb and it was great. 3) Omnipollo collab! You 2 gents can die happy! CHEERS!

Traded a beautiful BA bottle for the video and right after opening he has to leave it… haha love the video lads

Henok seems like a bloody legend! Going to have to make the pilgrimage to the Church!

my favorite brewery for stouts and sours. I need to visit them soon. Watching this video with a dark cherry pastry stout that I've brewed 7 months ago

Rad you guys went to Omnipollo. Keep up the awesome channel, this is one of the best shows that appeals to both brewers and consumers.

Henok is a Beer Wizard of the highest order!!!

“Layered” a collaboration between Voodoo Brewery in Meadville PA and New Trail in Williamsport PA is a great example of a pastry stout.

Love the FILA jacket, what a legend

Love your videos. Keep up the good work 🤘

wow! What a line up of beers in front of you. Please tell me you got to try them all? Obviously not on the same day but, over a couple of days. Another great video from you both and Henok is a brewer legend!

Love the super lowkey dave on the left. Definitely the best beer on that table (and the oldest).

Great video as always, thanx alot guys🙌🏼

Love it! Only thing is... a COUPLE OF weeks? Damn I need that vid now. :x

Great video by the way, you really did get a lot of footage from this trip ;)

Another great video guys! Really like your channel and looking forward to seeing you visit more breweries around the world. Can I offer a small suggestion? Perhaps it's just me, but seeing (and hearing) that first reaction when you try a new beer is super important and something that should be done with that alone in focus. I.e not while someone is talking as it kind of falls flat, almost like you don't appreciate it as much. I'm sure you do, but not being able to show emotions because you obviously don't want to interrupt the person ruins it a bit. I think it would have a much bigger impact if you would finish talking about the beer and then try it in silence, see your facial expressions etc, followed by your comments and discussions about what you just experienced. Make of that what you will, it could just be my own personal preference. Keep it up guys, love what you do! :) Cheers /Fred

Edmontons Sea Change Brewery has a beer called Turbo Stout, It has a local sandwhich shops cronuts added into the mash I guess, and its one of my favourite local beers. And in regards to the slushy beer, I have always been the guy that sticks beers in the freezer too cool faster, occasionally I will forget and sometimes they will hyper freeze. They will still be liquid until you pour them then you have this nice slushy beer and Ive always loved it especially when its a good stout. So yeah I definitely see the appeal of a beer slushy. Kind of a rare special treat for me. The only downside is if you dont realize its hyper frozen right away and dont pour it into a glass its damn near impossible to drink out of the can. lol

Evil Twin in Queens/Bklyn NY. The pastry stout capital of the 5 boroughs 😆

Have you ever seen a beer with gold flakes (a la Goldschläger)? Sounds like it could be a good fit for pastry stout/Omnipollo.

Great vid!

The pizza at Omnipollos Hatt is really great!

And now I have to book a trip to Norway. Excellent video! Excited to find out how the beer comes out.

I was lucky enough to have the Närke Stormaktsporter Rum variant at Borefts in 17 or 18 i'd need to check my records but wow is it a great beer

Pastry stout is what happened when some knucklehead brewer handed a patron a sample of un-hopped first runnings of a RIS, customer said "holy shit that's good. It tastes like marshmallow chocolate cake. Do you sell it? I'd pay good money!"... and the owner overheard.

How can you guys just ignore the fact that you tried probably one of the best beers in the world and didnt talk more about it? Närke Stormaktsporter is the godfather of darker beers in that genre!

I wonder if you could get a snow cone type imperial stout... the ice cream truck would pull up at the house and instead of the neighborhood kids running out it would be all the adults 🤣👍 cheers Guys, Mike in NZ

I spot Hair of the Dog "Dave" on the left end (which gets hidden along the way). Did you get to try it?

Why doesn't all craft breweries have a beer slushy machine??? Beer ice cream for all! Really informative, really entertaining, brilliant work as always.

Hipster Imperial Pasty Stout is awesome 11%

I really don't enjoy pastry stouts, personally, but as long as people are I'm okay with them.

Epic!

Omg you went to The Church! So jeal.

I do like a pastry stout occasionally but can we please get them in 330ml cans or bottles? 440ml of a 10%+ impy stout is always way more of a struggle to get through for me than a strong IPA. Have had some bangers from Omnipollo in recent years in this exact size but other than Amundsens dessert in a can series the rest of the market is generally bigger servings.

I sure would love to try some of these beers in the US but they don't sell them here or even ship! God, why is this so difficult in the year 2022 to buy a beer from any company in the most populated state in the nation, California?!?!! Like I am shopping for the cure for cancer or something here 🤬🤬🤬

Sorry, exqueeze me! The Angry Chair collab, did I hear correctly? It finishes at 24 plato !? That's mental!

You’ve now done episodes on pastry stouts and pastry sours. Clearly you need to do one on Pastry Seltzers?

To eat a beer........excellent comment

What is the name of the Narke beer?

Wilde child brewery do so good ones

Great notion are the kings of pastry stouts, milkshake IPAs, and tooty fruity tart ales. Noone comes close.

I’ve tried a few beer slushies at several breweries and they were…just fine I guess. When they are double the price of any pint and you get about 10-12oz, it seemed kind of like a weird extra thing for hard core beer nerds to flex about.

The two greatest inventions are PIZZA and beer Jonny. ;)

so dank it stained the jug

Pastry beers taste like a beer that didn’t ferment fully Really hard going with so much sweetness Just a 1/3 only max

Interesting. But not for me.

Pastry stouts are too sweet for me. Basic chocolate stouts are great (if that counts as a pastry stout), but when they start throwing in peanut butter & jelly, or marshmallows, it's like drinking diabetes

diabetic sweet, horrible, and its certainly not beer, if you need a spoon But if it keeps the geeks happy

Not a fan of pastry stouts. At all. Just a ruined stout, really. I've tried them and 99.9% of them taste like cough syrup to me. If it's your thing, more power to you. Enjoy, by all means.

Beats Mr Beast for sure
