Frozen beer foam

Weekend is upon us, and for most of you this means getting a beer after work, getting one extra for the other leg and possibly a lot of rejections from other patrons, due to the amounts of saliva that you've just formed in your mouth after the 6th beer in half an hour. You will probably wake up saturday and think "what the hell did I do last night?", then log on to facebook and relive the moments. If you think this will never apply to you, open this blog tomorrow and read this: "I told you so!".
If it still doesn't apply, fool's on me.

But I digress, let's take a look at that ice cold beer you're going to enjoy tonight:
Imagine the cool beer standing there in front of you. The foam is just about the right size, the temperature is chilling, without being too cold. You grab the beer, take a sip, talk to your friends.. and then everything goes wrong; the beer is tepid and the foam is all gone. The rest of the beer is just not that interesting.

Kirin, the japanese beer brewery, heard that their customers had the exact same problem as us, so they made a machine that freezes beer in its foamy form and then added it to the chilled beer, like softice into a cone. The result was consistent foam and chilled beer for a longer time without having to dillute the beer with ice cubes.

Genius in its purest form. A big pint raised to you Kirin, from beer-lovers around the world!
