So, Who Wants To Drink Some Blue Beer?

Before we start, let's have three guesses at where this oddly-hued brew this comes from. (Hint: if you didn't say "Pandora," "Smurf Village," or "Japan" just now, get it together man, honestly.)

Last year, we discovered the glory that was frozen beer foam — not a beer slushy, but a kind of whipped snow developed by Kirin Brewing Company to cool beers by watering them down. Well, in Japan, it seems they've taken this neat invention to its next logical step: sports branding.

For a limited time, the Kirin Ichiban Beer Garden in Tokyo is selling an awfully Breaking Bad-esque summer beer in promotion of Japanese soccer team, Samurai Blue. Topped with frozen, bitter beer foam, the Listerine-colored lager is actually nice and "refreshing," according to Rocket News, with a surprising sweetness at the bottom we can only assume comes from whatever syrup gave the beer its color.

Since it's only available at the beer garden until July, there's probably a slim chance this grown-up Kool-Aid will ever make its way to the States. No, we'd never drink anything so weird.
