Sorry, I don't come to joining.
I do drink beer though but not on a daily base. It's too much next to the litres of water and green tea I drink. I feel like a balloon.
They say beer helps against obstipation I can tell you it's not true.
Today's beer is in a bottle and available at the Penny market. 25 cents I paid for the bottle which means I take it back to the shop one day.
The label looks nice, the beer doesn't taste as good but is a bit better than Königsbrau, 4.5% alvohol and you need to be 18 years old to buy it.
I have no idea if it's the beer they use at the beer spa. I read in Belgium is one (or nearly one) where you can soak yourself in beer. It's good for the skin and hair although I have no idea if its a cold or hot beer you sit in. Might be worth the try.
The article I read
In the Schildknaapstraat in the center of Brussels, Bath & Barley will soon open, the first Belgian wellness center in our country to offer beer baths. Since the Middle Ages, it has been known that bathing in hops, barley, yeast and water, the main ingredients of beer, would have a positive effect on the body. Bath & Barley wants to bring back that tradition.
It may seem like a dream for many beer lovers to bathe in the beer, but it also turns out to be healthy. Without draining the bath, of course. In countries such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany and Hungary, beer baths are very popular in spa and wellness centers. An experience that goes hand in hand with the beer culture of these countries. That is why it made sense for Bath & Barley to also open a beer spa in Belgium, one of the largest beer countries in the world.
_ What's so good about bathing in hops, yeast and barley? The active enzymes and brewer's yeast make your skin and hair supple and soft, the hop is full of antioxidants and cleans your pores and the heat of the bath, about 38 degrees, provides a relaxing effect. When you visit the beer spa you also learn about the beer culture and the ingredients that are added to the bath or which hops are used as a scrub._
To complete the experience, there is a tap next to each bath from which Belgian lager flows. For those who like it a bit more culinary, there is a sample assortment of three Belgian beers with food pairing.

Let me know if you vidit a beer spa. I assume you need to be vaccinated since that's part of the new normal even if hardly anyone ends up on the IC and way more die because doctors no longer treat patients.
Cheers, enjoy your beer and the weekend and keep in mind beer does contain vitamines B and being outside is good for vatching vitamine D.
