Sure, you can drink beer, and you can cook with it too, but this International Beer Day, why not consider sliding into a tub filled with a fine brew? August 2 marks the beverages’ own special day on the calendar, and we’ve rounded up the world’s most unique, zen-inducing beer spas you can visit to honour the occasion.

Misugi Resort, Kyoto, Japan

This is where some of the world’s finest pleasures come together: food, beer, travel and bathing. A spa that has to be seen (or soaked in) to be believed, this Kyoto onsen is home to an on-site brewery, bakery and traditional restaurants. Here, guests can sit in a tub of beer, in the hopes of gaining “shinier skin.”

Beer Spa, Prague, Czech Republic

For the true beer lovers among us, Prague’s well-know Beer Spa is a temple you can worship at. Here, drink beer, eat beer-soaked bread, try a unique hop sauna, soak in oak barrel baths and stay the night.

Hop in the Spa, Oregon, US

Soak your sorrows and ‘reduce stress’ in Oregon’s own beer Spa. In a state full of micro breweries and from-scratch, artisan makers, it’s little wonder this spa has found its home in this hop-growing region.

Bierbad-Landhotel Garni Kummerower Hof, Germany

If not in Germany, where else could you soak in tubs filled with beer inside a 200-year-old vaulted cellar? This spa claims it will hydrate your skin, and relax your mind and body with its soothing spa treatments.

Árskógssandur Bjorbodin Spa, Iceland

In case you needed another reason to visit Iceland, this beer spa uses geothermal waters combined with yeast, hops, beer and essential oils to soothe its bathers. And, you can soak inside the spa, or outside with a view of the majestic landscape.

Tarrenz Beer Pools, Austria

At Starkenberger’s Castle, an Austrian brewery, beer enthusiasts can take a dip in the world’s first swimming pools. Better yet, the pools are secured in the cellar of the 700-year-old castle. For accommodation ideas, check out Booking.com.
