So, before my next brew, I'm building a kegerator. And I'm looking at pics of other peoples brews, and saw Captain Bigelows Caffrey's Irish Ale clone in all its nitrogen frothy goodness. So I was wondering, what would stop me from doing that to a cascadian dark/black IPA? Would it have that milky flowing goodness?
 
yeah. you could do that to any beer. buy you need the right faucet too. its got a restricter plate on it that makes it all creamy
 
I think it would be good but it would completely subdue the hop character of the beer.
 
I had an IPA on nitro at a local brewery a few weeks back. It was REALLLLLY nice!

It got me thinking about doing a nitro tap on my kegerator when I finally hook one up.

I think a CD/BIPA would be pretty nice and creamy.

I don't think so. I've had several IPA's served via cask and didn't notice any real difference in hop profile, can't see where serving on beer gas would change that at all.

I have had IPAs on cask as well thats the best way to drink them. Nitro is completely different though.
