Some may question the importance of pouring a nitro but it is paramount to drinking one π
A trained bartender will pour the nitro correctly, giving the most beautiful tight, thick, white head. This guide is for those who want to pour a perfect nitro in the comfort of their own home.
Pour contents straight into the glass. Do not tip the glass.
Observe the beauty. The head will settle shortly.
Watch this short video for a demonstration.
Drinking a Nitro
Take a huge whiff.
If that does not excite you then proceed to the ER, there may be something wrong with you π
Continue with that first sip that should seal the deal if the smell didn’t completely do it for you π
It’s not called a Milk Stout for nothing, wipe upper lip after drinking or understand people are staring at your milk mustache.
Enjoy π This dark beauty goes down smoothly.

Hi Lily! I nominated you for the Family of Bloggers Award π http://glitzgirlzglamourguide.com/2012/09/21/family-of-bloggers-award/
Thank you!!! π
Some great points about Nitro. I just love them and I’m always tempted when I see them on draft, no matter the style of beer. Excellent photos of Left Hand, too!
Thank you! I am tempted too but I do think it takes some talent to do a Nitro well…I have had many that don’t have enough carbonation and I am not a fan of “flat” beer…Do you have a favorite Nitro I should try? π
Odell Brewing makes a few, I like the IPA since it is unique – not a dark beer. We have it in Minneapolis, not sure how common it is.
Hey! I will be in Minneapolis in a couple weeks…I won’t have a lot of time but are there any places I should definitely check out!? (beer and food related π
well, YES! For beer (as in breweries) I would recommend Fulton and Indeed as both have cool taprooms. For a great bar I would say Muddy Waters, The Lowry, or The Happy Gnome (St Paul). Food: 112 Eatery, Tilia, Isles Bun (breakfast), Hell’s Kitchen.
oh my goodness, thank you!! I am excited π
