# Alcoholic Slushies Frozen Beer Slushie Maker by Kirin Ichiban is the Perfect Summer Drink By Meghan Young | Published 2014-06-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-beer-slushie-maker References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/kirin-ichiban-frozen-beer-slushie-machine/) & [japantrendshop](http://www.japantrendshop.com/frozen-beer-slushie-maker-by-kirin-ichiban-p-2367.html) The [Frozen Beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-and-icee) Slushie Maker blends two iconic summer drinks together: beer and slushies. Although it doesn't sound too appetizing, the idea of a nice cold beer after a long hot day has never been more appealing or appropriate. For those who find this combination completely foreign, it is important to note that the entire beer is not served as a slushie. Instead, it is the foam that has been given an icy makeover. Created by [Kirin Ichiban](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kirin-jojo-shochu-soda) and available at [Japan Trend Shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japan-edition-ginza), the Frozen Beer Slushie Maker essentially "takes ordinary beer and freezes it, dispensing a frozen head on top of your beer that keeps it even colder while tasting great," according to Uncrate. Compact and battery operated, it can be used in the home or on the patio as needed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alcoholic Slushies:** Creating alcoholic slushies as a refreshing option in the beverage industry. - **Frozen Foam Innovations:** Developing frozen foam innovations for different types of beverages. - **Compact Beverage Equipment:** Creating compact and portable beverage equipment for versatile use cases. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food & Beverage:** Incorporating alcoholic slushies as a new product line in the food and beverage industry. - **Hospitality:** Introducing frozen foam innovations in cocktails to enhance the customer experience in the hospitality industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** Building compact and cordless beverage equipment to cater to the needs of customers in the consumer electronics industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Slushie Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-slushi.md) - [Private Label Slushy Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silvercrest-slushy-maker.md) - [Oversized Icy Drink Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-slushi-max.md) - [Cooling Beer Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beercubes1.md) - [Hard Slush Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-hard-slush.md) - [Slushy Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-slushies.md) - [Icy Italian Beer Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peroni-italian-beer-ice.md) - [Star-Shaped Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-shaped-ice-cubes.md) - [RTD Alcoholic Slushees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-hard-southern-sweet-tea.md)
