In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Slowly add the cold water to the flour mixture a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Thinly slice the button and cremini mushrooms, finely dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and season with the remaining salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the Guinness stout and soy sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid reduces and becomes thick. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 6-inch rounds using a circular cutter or a bowl as a guide.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mushroom filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling to create a semicircle and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush it over the top of each pasty.
Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
