Nitro
The captivating cascade of a Nitro beer is like no other and we were determined to achieve this experience on-the-go! Our brewing team pioneered technology to package Nitro beers into both bottles and cans. Nitrogen is put into both packages in a liquid state and needs agitation to get into the gaseous state which creates lots of creamy, tiny bubbles. The Pour Hard method is necessary to release the Nitro magic in your bottle. A Left Hand can, however, has a widget to agitate the nitrogen and your beer is good to go without pouring. Check out lefthandnitro.com to learn more!
The Nitrogen in your Left Hand beer is put into the bottle in a liquid state. It needs agitation to get into the gaseous state which creates all of those creamy, tiny bubbles. Our Nitro bottles require being inverted and hard poured into a glass. Please see this video for a demonstration on the Pour Hard method and remember to pour your beer at the temperature listed on your bottle, 40-45°F. We find that this almost always solved a "flat" mouthfeel perception.
Please let us know if you have any feedback after using this method. If there are any additional quality questions or concerns, please fill out our Beer Feedback form.
Nitrogen is put in your bottle in a liquid state and needs agitation to get into the gaseous state which creates lots of creamy, tiny bubbles. Removing the widget means we need a new agitator . . . enter you! Our Nitro bottles require being inverted and hard poured in a glass. Please see this video for a demonstration.
That means if you drink our beer directly from the bottle, or pour it at a 45 degree angle into a glass, the nitrogen didn’t get the chance to work its magic. It's still liquid and not forming bubbles. As a result, you won't get that super smooth overall mouthfeel. So, go ahead, be aggressive and Pour Hard!
