Harpoon Brewery is collaborating with Mike’s Pastry is create a ‘cannoli-inspired stout’ that will be available for a limited time.

Harpoon Mike’s Pastry Cannoli Stout is brewed with cannoli shells, cocoa nibs, lactose and vanilla, the companies said in a press release. The beer is 7.3% alcohol-by-volume.

The stout will be available by draft for a limited time at Harpoon’s Boston Beer Hall, throughout New England and in other stores that carry Harpoon beers.

For every case of the beer purchased, a portion of sale will be donated to a Christmas in the City, a Boston-based non-profit chosen by Mike’s Pastry that works to combat homelessness and poverty.

There will be a launch party at Harpoon’s Boston Beer Hall on Feb. 27 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. for those interested in trying to beer.
