The Vandestreek Hard Pour Coffee Nitro Stout is the darker counterpart to the brand's Playground IPA in the non-alcoholic range, positioned as a heavier, more intense alternative. The name refers directly to the serving method: the can is opened and immediately inverted into the glass, activating the nitrogen and producing the cascading pour and compact, creamy head associated with traditional nitrogenated stouts. The recipe incorporates a cold-brew coffee addition, chosen to deliver a smooth coffee character without the astringency that a hot-process extraction would introduce, combined with cocoa. Vandestreek describes the drink as having the combined effect of a liquid espresso martini. At 0.5%, it is a low-alcohol stout.
