Beer Review: Budweiser Nitro Reserve Gold

There's nothing better than an American classic. Whether it's baseball, apple pie or hot dogs, you can't go wrong. The same thing goes for beer, too.

Budweiser is the classic American beer, and it goes perfectly with cookouts, ballgames, concerts and any other type of event you can imagine. It can always be your go-to beer, but sometimes, it's okay to change it up. 

Anheuser-Busch has been coming out with new beers in their Reserve series  since 2017 when they introduced the Repeal Reserve. Since then they've had some great selections, including the Jim Beam Copper Lager. 

The latest style that they've come out with is the Nitro Reserve Gold. Craft breweries have been doing nitro beers for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever seen a mass-produced nitro beer. 

The lager is infused with nitrogen gas to give it a smooth, creamy, draught-like feel. It's a fun one to drink, too, as Budweiser prints instructions on the can for how to pour the beer. 

Traditional beers are usually poured down the side of the glass to prevent the head from foaming up too much. But with the Nitro Reserve Gold, you're encouraged to shake the beer upside down three times and then pour it straight into the glass to get the nitrogen infused throughout the entire beer. 

While I like sticking with the classics, this new beer from Budweiser is one that's worth making a change for.
