With fall just around the corner and Halloween less than a week away, popular Massachusetts donut shop Kane's Donuts is serving up some festive fall treats inspired by seasonal brews.
As part of a partnership with Sam Adams and Angry Orchard, Kane's Donuts has developed two unique donuts flavors that capture the spirit of the season. The first is the Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale donut, which is a pumpkin-flavored donut topped with a honey glaze that had been infused with pumpkin ale. The other fall-flavored donut available is the Angry Orchard Apple Cider donut, which is made from an apple cider dough and topped with a hard cider-infused glaze.
By offering festive pastries inspired by seasonal brews, Kane's Donuts is giving consumers a whole new way to enjoy their favorite fall treats
