AleSmith Adding Pace Car Nitrogenated Coffee Stout

This morning, I have a new Nitro can, and it’s coming from AleSmith Brewing in San Diego, California. This is Pace Car Speedway Inspired Nitrogenated Coffee Stout, and it will be a Speedway stout-inspired beer that will hit 6%-AbV. The beer will be packaged in 16-oz cans, and stay tuned for 2026 release details.

Label Text AleSmith Pace Car:

“Pace car leads the pack as a 6% coffee stout inspired by our legendary Speedway Stout. It featured coffee and chocolate aromas with notes of roasted barley and subtle toffee character. A nitrogentated pour gives it a creamy texture and smooth finish that stays steady lap after lap.”
