Sam Adams releases Nitro series

Post by Kealia »

I saw this post in my Facebook feed (I guess FB figured out that I like beer, go figure).
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/samuel-adams-nitro-beers-launch-nationwide-after-3-years-of-experimentation-300208856.html?utm_content=25795843&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

I used to like Sam Adams and buy the seasonal packs but over the past few years I've lost my taste for them.

I've had a few beers over the last year or so that were served on nitro and it does provide a unique experience. I even had the same IPA on both CO2 and nitro once and it was pretty cool to experience the differences but I don't think I'll be seeking this out. Now if I'm at my favorite tap house (Beer Thirty) I'll add this to the tasters that I get, but I won't be going out to buy a 4-pack of it just to taste it.

How about you? Will you seek this out? Any interest in trying it?

I will probably skip it. I've had IPA's on nitro and wasn't all that impressed. And there are just way to many other small local guys that I would buy from first before I would try this.

I'll try anything once but at first glance, it doesn't excite me lots. I'm not saying this is indeed a gimmick but it seems the beer world is beginning to play games.

Ive not had any nitro beer that I liked
Even when compared to a CO2 beer and a nitro of the same beer I just don't like the nitro at all
I will probably try the Sam Adams IPA if I get a chance without having to by a 4 pack
But I don't expect to like it

No.
