While Japan struggles to generate enough electricity to keep air conditioners humming through its steamy summer, brewer Kirin is offering relief – a pint of ice cold draft beer topped with frozen froth.
A machine similar to those used to make frozen yogurt freezes the head of the beer into something that looks like a soft serve ice cream, helping to keep pints frosty cold even as the mercury tops 40ÂşC.
Made of pure beer, the frozen froth keeps the beer chilled for at least 30 minutes, well over the average of 22 minutes to finish a pint, as a Kirin survey found.
Kunihiko Kadota, Kirin’s marketing brand manager said: “Women and young drinkers spend much more time to drink it all up, and they like the idea the beer doesn’t get warm towards the end.” – Reuters
