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.

    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. Cheers!

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

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. Always down for good beer conversation- even if it is three years later. Cheers!

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.😂
