nitro beer

Nitrogen-infused ale

Nitro beer is beer infused with nitrogen gas rather than the usual carbon dioxide.

The nitrogen creates smaller bubbles, producing a creamy, smooth texture and a thick, cascading head when poured.

Stouts like Guinness popularized the style: The bartender poured my nitro cold brew from a tap.

Nitro versions of coffee and other beverages use the same technique.
