Nitro Stout

Pisgah Brewing Company’s Nitro Stout is a straightforward nod to the classic pub stouts of the British Isles, built for a smooth, drinkable presentation. Roasted barley and caramel malt provide the backbone of its flavor, giving roasted, coffee-like notes and a touch of malt sweetness. Pisgah finishes the beer with nitrogen and serves it through a special creamer faucet, producing the velvety mouthfeel that defines a nitro stout. At 5.2% ABV and 25 IBU, this Nitro Stout sits in a moderate range for strength and bitterness, leaning on texture and malt character rather than aggressive roast or hop punch. The nitrogen system softens perceived bitterness and carbonation, so the result is a mellow, creamy pour that emphasizes malt flavors and a smooth finish. That technique is what sets it apart from traditionally carbonated stouts and is a deliberate choice to honor the pub-style classics that inspired it. Pisgah brews and offers this stout on tap year‑round, making it a steady option for drinkers who prefer a low-effort, flavor-forward stout. Because it’s served on nitrogen through a creamer faucet, the pour and mouthfeel are integral parts of the experience—something to look for when ordering at the brewery or at tap-friendly venues that keep Pisgah on pour. The beer’s profile pairs well with richer or roasted foods and a range of cheeses, making it a flexible companion for both casual pours and food pairings. For North Carolina craft beer drinkers, Pisgah’s Nitro Stout is a local example of classic technique adapted for a modern taproom. Its year-round availability on tap means it can be part of regular rotation at the brewery and at local accounts that carry Pisgah. If you prefer a nitro-style stout with a focus on malt balance and creamy texture rather than big roast or hop character, this beer is a predictable, sessionable pick within Pisgah’s program.
