13 Incredible Beer Spa Hotels Where You Can Soak in the Suds

It’s no secret that craft beer enthusiasts love beer-inspired travel for their beercations.

It’s a great experience to head to a new destination to discover local beers, tour breweries, and even seek out restaurants with beer-laden recipes. But a new activity gaining popularity to add to your docket is beer-inspired spa packages.

While it may seem like an unlikely duo, beer itself can act as a PH balancer for oily and dry skin, and yeast is actually beneficial for cleansing. Beer’s staple ingredients, such as hops, barley, and malt, lend themselves to scrubs for increased circulation and enhanced exfoliation. And of course, there’s no better way to unwind and relax than while sipping on a well-made beer.

Beer-themed spa services are just another way to celebrate beer, highlight local breweries, and to introduce reluctant travel partners to give beer a try. These hotels offer unique ways to incorporate beer into your next beercation. After all, what better way to end a busy day of visiting breweries or attending a beer fest than relaxing in a beer spa?

The Edgewater | Madison, WI

The Edgewater gathered inspiration from two specific beers from Wisconsin’s most beloved breweries. The New Glarus Brewing Company Serendipity Massage is completely inspired by the tasty fruit beer Serendipity and uses a specialized Cranberry Seed and Apple essential oil.

The Door County Brewing Co. Silurian Stout Body Treatment starts with a Triple Shot Caramel Coffee Scrub featuring shea butter, sugar, and a kick of caffeine and Arabica bean extract, which is all reminiscent of the stout itself.

The historic boutique hotel is located right in downtown Madison, which is a stone’s throw to several breweries where you can grab some local Wisconsin brews.
