Beer Gets Frozen 'Soft Serve' Foam Added So It Will Stay Cool: Brilliant or Bogus?

Japan is usually the home of many creative things -- and this time is no exception. Japanese beer maker Kirin has come up with a way to prevent beer from getting warm, an occurrence that's ever-so-frustrating to the slow beer drinker. And just how are they going to do it? By topping off the beer with a special frozen, "soft serve"-looking foam top.

foam beer

Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft is the name of the new invention -- and it acts as an insulating lid for the beverage, keeping it cool for at least 30 minutes (that's plenty of time to drink a glass of beer, right?) Because of the foam, the beer is cooled to 23 degrees Fahrenheit and continuous cool air is blown into the special mix. Frankly, we don't care what the frozen foam consists of -- as long as it keeps our beer cool! Do you think this new frozen foam is brilliant or bogus?

    I'm mainly a Guinness man- it already comes with a nice foam top and doesn't last long enough to get warm

    There are also things called thermal containers; usually double-walled containers with trapped air between the walls.

    I mean..., it's a good idea.., but to go as far as to say it is brilliant is a bit much in my opinion.. I mean.., it is like saying putting a cube of ice in a drink is brilliant. Or freezing the container you put the drink in before hand is brilliant.

    That is like a person choosing to light their cigarette from a match oppose to a burning house and thinking to them self..., damn...! that was brilliant of me.

    For me.., it was a good idea but far from brilliant.., for it to be brilliant.., it would have to be the equivalence of a new ice, something everyone will be using...I'm Just Saying..., JOMO

    2. If people wanna drink beer, they can live with it getting warm!

    Good beers have no problem being drunk a little warmer. When warmer many of the aromas and trace tastes come out allowing you to enjoy the beer in a new level. Any beer you have to drink cold is gutter beer and not worth buying in the first place.

    First world problem, beer getting warm. What a waste of science. Also, maybe you don't care what's in it, but I do. For all you know it's made of chemicals that can give you all sorts of scary disease.

    thats a gross idea but they will probably wing it that far when we get into a economic depression years down the road. they might even move the drinking age down to 18

    You can't tell from a video or description. The only way to know is to taste it. So, I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt.
