What is nitro cold brew and how is it different from regular cold brew?

Cold brew is just coffee that’s been brewed without heat – since heat makes the chemical process faster, cold brewing it takes much more time. Usually the grounds are soaked in water overnight in the fridge before being filtered out and served. Cold brew coffee, depending on the type, is usually a little more mild and a little sweeter than typical iced coffee (which is brewed hot then poured over ice). Some people prefer the flavor, some people prefer the stronger tastes that you get with traditional brewing methods. It’s just something that’s become trendy lately and it’s very tasty when made well.
Nitro cold brew is just that same stuff, but served by being shot through a nitrogen tap, infusing the brew with little bubbles. It just makes the coffee feel a little thicker and a little more fizzy. If you’ve ever had a Guinness beer (which is also nitrogen infused), it’s a very similar texture – sort of thick and creamy. You can make it at home yourself as well if you have one of those mini-kegs or a homemade whipped cream dispenser that uses those little disposable nitrogen canisters.
