Grain&Grit Beer Company and Donut Monster two burgeoning small-batch Hamilton businesses recently collaborated on a flavor-filled event that saw creative (and delicious) craft beer donut pairings. Taking place at the Grain&Grit brewery, the event hosted 20 lucky contest winners to enjoy a selection of three donut-beer pairings.
The event saw the following three craft beer donut pairings: Raspberry Chocolate Honeycomb Donut and Chasing Summer Oat Ale, Passion Fruit Guava Filled Donut and In the Palms IPA and Sour Cherry Almond Donut with the Bitter Sweet Double Chocolate Milk Stout.
While the event was thus far a one-off, the two local Hamilton brands are continuing to collaborate with offerings such as the new Beer-A-Misu donut made with the Bitter Sweet Double Chocolate Milk Stout.
