Frozen Head Ever dream of topping off your pint of beer with frozen beer foam instead? Me, neither but now, thanks to the clever folks at Japanese brewing giant Kirin, you can. They’ve figured out how to create frozen foam and dispense it on top of a beer like a person filling a cone with soft-serve ice cream. The beer is said to have a creamier taste and texture due to the frozen foam than regular beer in an icy mug. As the foam melts, it won’t dilute the beer with water as regular ice cubes would because the foam itself is, of course, beer. For those hankering to get a pint of the brew, a visit to Japan is in order. Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft is currently available in Tokyo and will be served countrywide this May. No word yet on when the soft-serve beer foam will be topping brews outside of Japan, but the Australian market is supposedly next. |
