This Kidsbeer’s for you, kid

To a child, Shirley Temples are such a cool thing. Hip, glamorous and oh so adult. Now the Japanese have come up with Kidsbeer, a soft drink that looks like real beer, complete with the foam. Tomomasu, the company that makes it, has no plans to bring it to the U.S., but some people here are already kicking up a fuss. That’s because Kidsbeer will be introduced in Britain, and there are plans to extend it to the rest of Europe.
