In the Austrian municipality of Tarrenz, it is possible to swim in baths full of beer in a medieval castle.
Austrian catering entrepreneurs have a medieval castle Brasserie Starkenberger set up. The current 'Bierbad' is now located in the cellars where a brewery used to be located.
Artist Wernfried Poschusta has the honor of transforming the old fermentation rooms into a kind of wellness area. The bath of beer brings many advantages. Besides the fact that the drink is rich in vitamins and minerals, it also has a relaxing effect and the skin gets a boost. In addition, the cure could also help to heal wounds. That is why it is also recommended not to shower after bathing.
Incidentally, the beer baths do not consist of 100% beer. The seven pools are first filled with 12.000 liters of water and then topped up with 300 liters of beer. The price tag of €250 is hefty and there is a maximum of four people at the same time. Incidentally, it is possible to enjoy the ten special beers that the current brewery now produces while bathing.
