    So I have a double tap hookup, one with co2 and the other with the nitro mix. I've been using Guinness for that tap but wanting to try other beers, just having a heck of a time trying to determine what other beer options work well on beer gas, Any suggestions or pointers?

    I brewed a Scottish Red that was really good with nitro.

    If you are brewing your own, pretty much any beer can be put on blend gas. Stout is really the only one that works though. You do need to know how to carb and dispense your beer with blend gas.

    If you are looking for commercial beer other than Guinness, no beer that is not intended to be dispensed with Nitro will work. Commercial option are limited to beers that are intended for Nitro dispense. You can try others, but it will not pour properly. You'll get a beer shake.

    Cheers
