  • Nitro Beer Explained -- Beer History & Beer Science
    Although Nitrogen has been used in beer for 60 years, this beer innovation is still winning the minds and hearts of drinkers around the world today. Nitro Beers are creamy, foamy, and delicious. But how did they come to be? And are there any drawbacks to replacing good old CO2? Ryan answers all these questions today on Beer by The Numbers.

    Hey, Just thought you might be interested, the bubbles in nitro beer actually rise very fast. They appear to "fall" on the sides of the glass because the nitrogen bubbles rise very quickly in the middle, creating a sort-of current in the glass.

    Nitrogen masks so much flavour is astonishing. If you ever have the opportunity to try side-by-side nitro/no-nitro - do it. Trying hand pumped Guinness (from a metal barrel made for nitro) made me think it was actually an OK stout.

  • @averagejoe716

    I feel like most nitro beers dull out the flavor. I've done many side-by-side and it's rare for me to enjoy the nitro version over it's non-nitro counterpart. One exception for me is Left Hand Milk Stout. That is amazing. I've also had Firestone Walker's Nitro Merlin recently and it was extremely tasty, too. Once again, another great video with a ton of information. Keep it going, brother.

    I'm not big on reds or ambers but I really enjoyed the Kilkenny Nitro. Otherwise Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout and Belching Beavers Milk Stout are quite dandy. Speaking of Milk Stouts, perhaps do a video about lactose in beer? A lot of people I talk to don't know why you would ferment with lactose of understand the notion of sugars converted to alcohol, but the sweetness from lactose not being converted to alcohol. Idk. :-p

      @@Kingcommaalex @Alex King I don't think southern tier has much distribution up here in the pacific northwest - or in the west coast in general. I will have to keep a look out though. I dig on nitros for sure but in terms of general styles of beer, stouts and Belgian strong ales are my usual go to, though they both are a little heavy for summer time. Not big on IPAs. I find them pretty overrated. There are a few I don't mind from time to time but I never actively seek them out for my own consumption.

    IMHO all heavier beers should be nitrogenated such as stouts, cream ales, brown ales, some amber ales. CO2 again IMO suits IPA's, all lagers, and lighter ales very well

    The only nitro beer I’ve ever had was Guinness. I’ve never seen another, or heard of another until this video.
    I love Guinness but have two issues with the bottles. They are less than 12oz (I realize only by fractions of an ounce) and that the beer is so smooth drinking, that the bottle seems to be empty when you take the cap off.😂

    I am not a fan of carbonated drinks. I do not like soft drinks for this reason as well. I would often half flatten a cola before drinking it but would prefer water instead. With that said, nitro beers are the exception. Now I like those beers and ales with the nitro and am not just left with tea and water with dinner.

      @Aldaroth Thanks. It's probably my fault for 'expectations'. I'd tried quite strong Beligans before trying Bods (not one after the other) so small wonder it tastes 'flat'. I should have started with that, but I only started 'drinking' when the virus hit and I explored my way through Metro's beers for a distraction.

    I have never understood why people like Guinness. I can't stand the stuff. It has zero flavor. Tastes like it's 50% water. Nitro really does play a part in that. I'm a snob. I am. And nitro beers always strike me as something that only bearded hipsters with man-buns drink. Give me a beer that's so thick with flavor I need to chew it.
