Brewmaster Nitro Stout – A Smooth Irish Craft Beer Classic
Brewmaster Nitro Stout 44Cl 4.2% is a smooth and approachable Irish craft beer from Dundalk Bay Brewing, combining the traditional qualities of stout with the unique texture and presentation associated with Nitro Beer.
Nitro Stout has become a popular style among craft beer drinkers because it offers more than just flavour — it creates a distinctive drinking experience through nitrogenation. The use of nitrogen produces a smoother pour, softer carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel that helps highlight the character of the beer.
Rooted in the traditions of Irish Stout, Brewmaster Nitro Stout brings together roasted malt character, balanced bitterness and excellent drinkability. At 4.2% ABV, this is a sessionable stout designed for customers who enjoy depth of flavour while still wanting a beer that is easy to enjoy.
For those discovering craft beer styles for the first time, Nitro Stout provides an accessible introduction to darker beers. For experienced stout fans, it offers the familiar roasted qualities of the style with the added texture that makes nitro beers distinctive.

What Makes Nitro Stout Different?
Nitro Stout is defined by the use of nitrogenation, which changes the texture and presentation of the beer compared with traditionally carbonated styles.
Nitrogen creates smaller bubbles than standard carbonation, resulting in a smoother mouthfeel and creamy texture. This makes Nitro Beer particularly popular in stout styles, where texture plays an important role alongside flavour.
Unlike some stronger stout styles such as Imperial Stout, Nitro Stout does not rely on higher alcohol content to create character. Instead, the focus is on balance, smoothness and the overall drinking experience.
Brewmaster Nitro Stout showcases how modern craft breweries continue to explore traditional beer styles, creating new interpretations while maintaining the qualities that make Irish stout popular worldwide.
