No, you cannot carbonate with nitrogen as it doesn't dissolve in water/alcohol. You could use beer gas on root beer and pour it with a stout faucet.

The whole point of nitrogen is to add additional gas pressure to push your beer to your faucet without adding any more carbonation. The only time you really need this is if you are trying to add very little carbonation to your beer. Since rootbeer is normally carbed at like 35 psi, you could get the same sensation as nitrogen by just carbing it at normal beer pressures (10-14 psi). If you try to carb it with pure nitrogen, you'll just get absolutely flat rootbeer.

Old thread but my $.02...

I have a dedicated nitro setup on my kegerator for rootbeer (well, one stout tap for the stout, and another for root beer, in addition to the beer). I carb my rootbeer at 15 PSI and nitro dispense at 35 PSI. Pours like a Guinness, gorgeous cascade and creamy head.

i wonder how they nitrogenate the water in this then. i've had em and it gives the drink a creamy mouth feel. i like it. it'd be cool if it were possible to do that to root beer.
