How To Pour a Fort Point Nitro

Fun Things Jul 29, 2019

Perfect creamy foam straight from the can

Chill the can to around 36 degrees fahrenheit, the colder the better

Step 1: slowly rock the can back and forth five or six times using a steady hand motion.

Step 2: pop that can open! Expect to hear a louder than usual snap as all that gas escapes.

Step 3: Now you're ready to pour at a straight vertical angle! When pouring, try your best to pour at 180 degrees, directly down the center of a pint glass

Results! Tiny bubbles should be actively cascading downwards through the beer, forming a nice creamy beige head. Time to enjoy, cheers!

Curious about the origin of Nitro and how it came to be? Check out our post on the story of Nitro by our head brewer, Mike.
