Singapore craft brewery launches its Nitro Stout in cans using in-line nitro technology

Starting in March 2024, Singapore’s Lion Brewery Co has released its Nitro Stout beer for sale in cans, using in-line nitro technology.

The special process involves infusing liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees Celsius into the beer can just before sealing, thus safeguarding the cascade pour effect and smooth mouth feel found in the draught version, according to the company statement. This is the first time a Singaporean craft beer brand has produced a canned nitro stout beer in this way.

Lion’s Nitro Stout, with its roasted malt aromas and low hop bitterness, has been part of the brewery’s core series, and was originally brewed to mark Earth Day. “The nitro stout market is large in Singapore and yet historically there has been very little choice for stout drinkers,” says Will Julius, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Lion Brewery Co. “So we are delighted to be able to offer them our delicious, easygoing Nitro Stout.”

In addition to the new can launch, Lion Brewery Co has also entered the Dubai market through a strategic partnership with Middle East distributor African & Eastern. This move makes Lion Brewery Co the first Singaporean craft beer brand available in Dubai, and the brewery plans to broaden its reach across the UAE in the coming months.
