Chocolate Glass Enhances Flavour of Beer

Having your cake and eating it, too? More like having your beer and eating it, too. Kind of.

This past month, Sankt Gallen, a brewery located in the Kanagawa region of Japan, unveiled a unique way to enjoy their famous malt beverage: with an edible glass.

Recently, Sankt Gallen has been gaining notoriety for their line of specialty chocolate beers. Notably, their Imperial Chocolate Stout is an ultra-dark beer that uses ‘over twice the ingredients of your average dark beer including roasted “chocolate malt.”’ However, these extra ingredients reportedly make the beer overly bitter.

So, why not balance it with something sweet.

Initially for sale online starting February 1, Sankt Gallen developed a glass created entirely out of chocolate to pair with the stout. The chocolate used to make the glass was specially formulated to dissolve in your mouth, rather than your hand. Additionally, the chocolate is strong enough to withstand 5 servings of beer, consecutively, before it would have to be eaten.
