    I’m assuming it’s non-alcoholic? Alcohol’s freezing point is -10F / -23C, which sounds uncomfortably cold to eat.

      Beer is mostly water, and the water freezes before the alcohol does. This fact is used in freeze distillation to make “ice beers” that are stronger than what you get from the initial fermentation.

        “ice beers” that are stronger

        Is that in ABV or in flavour? Because every “ice beer” that i ever tried - and it’s a short list, mind - tasted like mildly dirty water.

      Soft serve is effectively a partially frozen emulsion foam colloid. It’s one of the easier ways to trap liquid alcohol.
