Beverage Gas 101

If you’re new to beverage gas, we’ve got you covered. Whether you need CO₂ for beer gas or Nitrogen to create that perfect cold brew, EspriGas offers multiple solutions to make gas supply easy. Here are some common things to consider when reviewing your beverage gas supply needs.

Common Beverage Gases

Beer Gas – Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

From processing to preserving, packaging to pouring a glass — CO₂ is most commonly known for carbonating beverages and creating dry ice in the beverage industry. Within the beverage industry, using CO₂ for beer gas and beer kegs is standard practice. 

CO₂ is available in two forms: cylinders and micro-bulk CO₂ liquid cylinders.

CO₂ Cylinders

As the most common mode for CO₂ delivery, gas cylinders are great for small quantities or areas where piping isn’t practical.

Liquid Cylinders

As CO₂ volumes grow, liquid cylinders become the better option offering larger quantities of gas to be stored in a smaller footprint.

Nitro Drinks – Nitrogen (N2)

In the beverage industry, Nitrogen is used to push beer through the line to the tap. Nitrogen has recently picked up popularity being infused into different beverage options such as nitro cold brew, nitro coffee, and nitro cola. These “nitro drinks” have increased the supply and demand of Nitrogen within the beverage gas supply industry.
