The first time I tasted beer in college, I was surprised to discover it's carbonated. I wasn't aware, and wasn't expecting that. It's still kind of weird and annoying to me, and I prefer beer like Guiness where the carbonation is less pronounced.

- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoA lot of them have nitrogen, here's a pretty good list https://www.mensjournal.com/food-drink/nitro-beers https://www.mensjournal.com/food-drink/nitro-beers
- dendrite9 3y agoI had a roommate from Mongolia who disliked beer with carbonation. I never understood the full story of why but he said it was better flat. He would show up with a sixpack, dispense half each can into Gatorade bottles, then shake them and leave them out for a few hours to go completely flat. The carbonation in Guinness is a blend of CO2 and Nitrogen which creates the different bubbles. Some beers are carbonated in different ways and have a different feeling.
