BARLEY BUBBLES: THE FIRST BEER SPA OPENS IN BRUSSELS

BELGIANS will soon be able to relax in hops and barley as a new beer spa is about to open for the first time in Belgium.

The “Good Beer Spa” in southern Brussels was founded by 42-year-old Benedict Biebuyck and his girlfriend, Ana Bordonada, after experiencing one in Prague in the Czech Republic a few years ago.

Biebuyck prepares the mixture for the jacuzzi: hop, yeast and malt combined with beer.

He mixes it and then pours it into the jacuzzi, where clients will sit for 45 minutes. Ahead of the June 4 opening, they invited a few neighbours who said they enjoyed the smells and the relaxing atmosphere.

“I heard that it really rejuvenates the skin so, who knows, it might make me look 10 years younger!

“And also I like the smell, It’s very natural, I feel very much in nature!” Aleksandra Tarchini, a web designer from Bulgaria said. | Reuters
