American nitro beer specialist Left Hand Brewing has released its latest beer, the 'Peanut Butter Milk Stout Nitro'. Sweet and savory, the stout conjures flavors reminiscent of a peanut butter cup.
The new nitro is a twist on the company's classic 'Milk Stout Nitro,' and will be available year-round in both bottle and draft form. Interestingly, Left Hand Brewing is one of the only two brands to offer bottled nitrogenated beers due to the difficulty of producing nitrogen without a widget. To get past this hurdle the company introduced the 'Pour Hard' method, which requires beer drinkers to pour the bottle quickly at 180 degrees. This technique must also be implemented to maximize the nitrogen in the brand's new peanut butter-flavored stout.
