The Nirvana Nitro Stout is the UK-based brewery's latest creation that will provide consumers with the perfect option to try out that doesn't skimp on flavor. The beer maintains an alcohol-free profile with a 0.5% ABV and is reported to have a rich, roasted flavor profile with a velvety mouthfeel to boot. The beer is meant to be poured hard and fast to help release the nitrogen, which is what contributes towards its smooth texture and clean finish.
Founder and Brand Ambassador Becky Kean commented on the Nirvana Nitro Stout saying, "We’re rapidly evolving as a brand and Nitro Stout is the ideal beer to complement our 2025 line-up. ‘Specials’ will still be part of our offering, but we’re concentrating on some key brews that we know have particular mass appeal. There’s not enough no/low alternatives to this particular style of beer, so we’re looking forward to seeing the trade – and consumer – reaction.”
