Beer spa? Oh yeah, I'm there!

This photo of Drew Carey is gonna give me nightmares...yikes!!

Beer spa! Did someone say beer spa? Dayum, I was in the Czech Republic a year or so back but I didn't know nothing about no beer spa...I have to schedule another trip!

Did you know that the Czechs drink more per capita (about 41.5 gallons per person annually) than anybody else in the world (and before you ask, Ireland and Germany are 2nd and 3rd and I don't know where the USA ranks so don't ask me). Back to the Czechs, let's do the math...41.5 gallons of beer is 14 1/2 ounces of beer a day or pretty much a pint a day. And, as I think the stat is across all residents, let's carve off the children and the poor non-drinkers and you have a helluva lot of beer being consumed. Party time! Excellent!

But back to the beer spa. It's located in Chodova Plana. It's about 2 hours west of Prague and near the German border. I think I drove very close to it...double dayum! And, no, it's not a bath in cold beer. The luscious brew is gently warmed to a cozy 93 degrees and infused with herbs and such. Sounds nice! Read more about it - and more history of beer in the Czech Republic - by clicking through the link.

Cheers!
