It might seem like a bit of a strange concept, but the ChocoGlass is a drinking cup that is made entirely from edible chocolate. Created by the Sankt Gallen Brewery in Japan, the glass is created as an accent for enjoying the breweries signature chocolate beer.
The scrumptious brew is coupled with the ChocoGlass and are sent out in sets so that curious consumers can enjoy the brew in the way that the company has designed. After finishing off the chocolate beer, the ChocoGlass can be eaten like any other piece of chocolate. What's best is that it will then be infused with the woody essence of the beer, so that while it might still be chocolate it will take on a more appropriate flavor for the adult palette.
