THE BELGIAN BEER SPA

Belgium’s first beer spa just opened in the heart of the capital, Antwerp. The concept combines drinking and relaxation. Guests start with a hop-based scrub before jumping into a large tank of beer, butt-naked. It’s not quite beer yet, so you can’t drink it. Also it’s heated to about 100 degrees, so you wouldn’t want to drink it, unless you’re British. The beer bath contains yeast, composed of microscopic organisms, and hops, which is full of antioxidants. As you soak, you exfoliate your skin with a bag of hops. Each guest gets a personal beer dispenser, conveniently placed next to the tub. The spa is complete with a large hay sofa where you can come and rest in between your sessions of bathing and sweating.
* And who wouldn’t want to sit butt-naked on a bunch of hay.
* This is frat-boy heaven, baby.
* It’s the only place where “You smell like a brewery” is a compliment.
* No beer nuts? No pretzels?
* There’s a lot of fun new recreation choices now that the world is recovering from COVID. Then there’s this place.
