The Best Nitro Brew Coffee In Columbus

I’m a sucker for coffee in most forms, and nitro brews are no exception.

Nitro brew coffees are cold brew coffees poured with nitrogen, which smooths the coffee, counters the acidity, and gives it a creamy texture with a foamy head, much like beer. The trend isn’t new, but there’s no better coffee beverage to grab on a hot summer’s day, no matter how popular it becomes.

Of course, nitro coffee is offered at big chain coffee shops around the country, but there are a few local places here in Columbus that are doing it with excellence.

Off the Beaten Path Coffee

via Facebook

About: Off the Beaten Path Coffee is the brainchild of inventor and CEO, Steve Johnson. After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, Johnson started living a more active lifestyle, taking up mountain biking. He wanted a way to get energy without consuming sugary energy drinks, so he began toying with nitro brewed tea and coffee. The rest, as they say, is history.
Location: You can find Off the Beaten Path coffee and tea around the city at bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. For the full list of locations, please click here.
Coffee to try: Nothing compares to the sweet, sweet taste of OTBP’s Cold-Brewed Bourbon Pecan.
