It's a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is often put into the cans just before they are sealed. The nitrogen then vaporises, increasing the pressure in the can and forcing carbon dioxide, nitrogen gas and some beer into the small hole to equalise the pressures. When the can is opened, the gases and beer are ejected through the holes. Nitrogen is needed as it means smaller bubbles can be achieved. Oxygen needs to be eliminated as much as possible as this will effect the taste.

How does the widget found in Draught beer cans work?
The cans/bottles are filled under pressure, usually with nitrogen. It is done in such a way that the gas fills the widget through the very small hole, I believe they do it upside down. When the container is opened, the gas escapes through the small hole and creates bubbles in the beer. Without the widget, there wouldn't be any bubbles.

What is the white ball in the Guinness beer can?
This is what I got off of the guinness.com website: Glad you asked. The widget is a plastic molded device that sits on the top of the contents of each can of GUINNESS® Draught. When the can is opened, a small amount of beer and nitrogen, trapped in the widget, is forced out through the beer, which creates the famous creamy head that you find on a pint of GUINNESS® Draught served in a pub. The widget gives GUINNESS® Draught in cans the taste and texture of a pub-poured pint at home. In GUINNESS® Draught in bottles, the clever little 'rocket' widget floats free in the beer to refresh the creamy head of your GUINNESS® Draught with each swig you take from the bottle.

Actually that little ball at the bottom of a guiness beer can is called a "Widget".
What does a rocket widget do in a Guinness beer?
To really understand what the widget does, first you have to understand how Guinness is served on tap.Guinness is a beer with relatively low carbon dioxide content. Low CO2 beers generally have gas added to them as they're released from the tap (called brewgas - a CO2 and nitrogen mix usually), which gives a thick, creamy head to the beer. The head is very important for flavor and texture of the beer. Guinness in particular needs a half-inch head to get the optimum "creaminess." Normally, it's not possible to add the brewgas to a canned or bottled beer; it has to be added just before pouring to agitate the beer and make a thick head.Canned Guinness solves this problem using a "widget" - a plastic ball that holds some brewgas inside it. When you open the can, the change in pressure forces the gas out of the ball. The extra shot of gas, combined with pouring it into a pint glass, causes it to develop the same head that it would in the pub. (Guinness cans actually have instructions on the side, telling you to pour the beer instead of drinking from the can.)The rocket widget is essentially an improved version of the ball widget. It still gives the initial burst of brewgas when the bottle is first opened, but the new design gives an additional "squirt" of gas each time the bottle is turned upward, recharging the head each time you take a drink. The result is that you can drink Guinness straight from the bottle, without sacrificing the head and impacting the flavor.
What gas is typically found in beer?

What is a widget?
There is no one thing called a widget. The term is used generically like gadget or gizmo.It's often used in an academic context, especially in business schools or economics classes. For example, an economics professor might talk to her students about "the supply and demand for widgets," or a marketing teacher might ask his students to develop "a plan for selling widgets." By using a generic term they keep their students from being distracted by the item itself.AnswerI believe originally the term widget was used in reference to a device or article the name of which you had either forgotten or never knew in the first place. For example: In the English brewing industry the term widget is a applied to a small device found in cans of beer which make the beer froth in a similar fashion to beer pumped from a keg - it became known as a widget because no-one could think of any other name for it.AnswerIn the brewing industry a widget is a small plastic or nylon device which has small holes in it and is bottled or caned inside the beer. Widgets then release small bubbles of nitrogen into the packaged beer when the container is opened.AnswerIf you are thinking about Yahoo! Widgets, go to the official website, http://widgets.yahoo.com/ then click on a button in the upper right hand corner that says "What is a Widget?". Hope this is what you were looking for.a widget is a small window at the side of a computer screenAnswerThere also used to be a product called a widget. It was a hard plastic yellow handle that held a razor blade, and could be used as a scraper.In Cell phone lingo a widget is a shortcut that is on the home screen of your mobile phone. It is just a small picture and maybe a one word description that you can click on and take you to that certain application.Its synonymous with gadget/gizmo/doodad/contrivance/device.
