Nitro (nitrogen beer)

Nitro, or nitrogen-infused beer, is a beverage infused with nitrogen gas instead of or in addition to carbon dioxide. This creates smaller bubbles, resulting in a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a visually appealing cascading effect when poured. Nitro beers are often served through a special faucet that maintains the nitrogen pressure, giving the beer a velvety texture and a less fizzy, more luxurious experience. Popular examples include stout varieties like Guinness. The use of nitrogen enhances the beer’s body and softness, providing a unique and refined drinking sensation compared to traditional carbonated beers.
