Nitrogen Beer

F**ked if I know where to post this, but does anyone know if you can get nitrogen beer in Ireland, without having to actually brew it?

(Nitrogen beer: nitrogen is added to the beer instead of plain ol' CO2, giving it less carbonation, smaller bubbles, a thicker head, and more smoothness).

Nitrogen Beer????
All beers have nitrogen in them, they just vary in their levels - Guinness contains the most in Ireland (hence the smooth taste, no fizziness and also white creamy head) What you looking for it for anyways???

Right then, I'll rephrase:

Nitrogenated, rather than carbonated beer.

And why?

Curiosity.

Guinness, tbh.

would have to agree stouts have nitrogen added to them after the brewing process and before they are kegged lagers have CO2 added both use CO2 to get them out of the keg

Yeah nitrogen is in draught stout and inside the widget in draught stout cans and bottles.

guinness. thats why it is crap in some places abroad, since they use the wrong gas and the head is crap.

But they also use different types of barley, which causes a different taste. In Nigeria they don't use barley at all because its cultivation is restricted and instead use sorghum.

guinness does have a very slight fizz to it though, yet some people dont really notice it.

Who wants a lot of head?

In beer I mean.

I thought guinness was oxygenated. Must have mis-heard.
Caffrey's and Kilkenny both are ales with a head (probably nitrogenated therefore)

Thats true, and they brew to different %'s. But I have been in bars in europe who import james gate kegs especially, then ruin it with the wrong gas.

They non-alcoholic guinness malt drinks in an african food shop on moore street.
