Prague - A spa - believed to be the world's first beer health centre - has opened in the cellar of a family brewery in the Czech Republic. On offer are beer baths, beer massages and beer cosmetics at the spa at the Chodovar Family brewery in Chodova Plana.

The converted cellars include seven huge baths inspired by Victorian design where guests can swim in beer while sipping a pint at a bathside bar.

For a £80 (R880) weekend package, guests can indulge in a range of health treatments such as beer wraps, starting at £12 (about R132) per session.

The spa's owner, Jiri Plevka, said: "Beer can treat a range of conditions, particularly skin conditions, and the health centre should appeal to men who are put off by 'posh' traditional spas.

"I have heard of some places in other countries where people can swim in beer but it's just a gimmick.

"We believe in the healing properties of beer and we offer the full range of treatments. We are a fully-fledged beer spa." - Ananova.com

I'm all for drinking beer and everything like that... but swimming in it? I'm not sure about that one.

Confused

Well, it would have to be something like Rolling Rock to make you smell like that, since so many homeless people smell like piss
