When Drew and I visited Prague, we were determined to try the Original Beer Spa. The spa is known for its unique beer-soaking experience. Having already soaked in thermal baths in Budapest and sulfur baths in Tbilisi, we were eager to add another bathing experience to our list.

Arrival

When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly employee who led us to a very clean private spa room. Our reservation included a 1-hour session in a hand-carved oak barrel. She filled the tub with natural extracts used to brew Czech Krušovice beer, along with hops, barley, and brewer’s yeast. She explained that the witches brew could help regenerate our skin and improve our overall wellbeing.

Soak

Undressing, we settled into the bath and immediately felt the stress and fatigue of traveling wash away. As we soaked in the warm beer bath there was unlimited beer on tap to drink. Eager to get our money’s worth, we sipped and soaked for an hour, enjoying the taste of the locally brewed beer.

As we soaked, the ladies had served fresh homemade beer bread with an incredible spread. By the end of our service, we had each enjoyed anywhere from 8-10 beers.

Wind Down

After the hour-long soak, we were provided with cotton towels and sheets, linen blankets, and basswood slippers. She instructed us to lay on the bed of genuine wheat straw next to the fireplace. It had a personalized anniversary card waiting for us which we appreciated. Laying on the bed helped us fully absorb all the vitamins and extracts from the bath.

Lastly, before leaving, we were provided with beer-infused body gel to take with us and use later. We were also advised not to shower immediately after the bath to allow the nutrients to continue working.

Conclusion

In conculsion, the Original Beer Spa has a long history dating back 2,000 years ago. Their ancestors were aware of the beneficial effects of both spending time in hot baths and drinking beer. Brewer’s yeast has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. It has a fantastic source of nourishment for the skin, providing essential B vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, and organic iron.

Finally, after leaving the spa, we felt rejuvenated, light, and ready to conquer the rest of Prague. Overall, the Original Beer Spa was an experience we’ll never forget and one we would recommend to anyone visiting Prague. We only regret not adding another hour to our reservation.
