On my first trip to Prague of many , the one thing that most excited me was a visit to a Prague beer spa. And now, as a Prague tour guide, I see this same sentiment reflected endlessly in visitors to the city. I enjoy indulging in the local culture when I travel so, upon learning that Prague, Czech Republic is the beer-drinking capital of the world , I knew I had to soak it all in.
Specifically, through my pores and whilst mostly nude. In a city where beer is literally cheaper than water, taking a beer bath seemed like a no-brainer.
And the environment. I mean, imagine if all the people had beer taps in their bathtubs. This post was originally published in but has been completely updated for A Prague beer spa is a private, cave-like room where you and a few of your friends relax in 1,liter oak hot tubs filled with beer ingredients all while enjoying unlimited Czech beer from the tub taps. You get to eat beer bread and relax on a bed of wheat straw next to a fireplace.
And this is just the standard package. In place of meditation is the blatant encouragement to drink as much as you can in one hour. This is where they get you. No, the Prague beer spa is not actually a beer bath, per se. Instead of soaking in a hot tub full of beer, you actually soak in a hot tub filled with beer ingredients. Perhaps over time and via a much different process this could actually become beer, but it is not this day.
You will not be in there long enough to ferment. Naturally, those who live in the country with the highest per-capita beer consumption rate believe that beer has a wide range of health benefits.
