It’s bath time for adults! What better way to relax and unwind than drinking a beer, while bathing in it too?
Welcome to bierbath in Sykesville - the first “beer spa” in Maryland.
We know what you might be thinking...
“The biggest misconception is - who wants to sit in a vat of beer? Like, keg parties come to mind. No, this is a very upscale experience,” said communications director Katie Baran, who opened BierBath with her husband, and their friend, Hector, who is a professional hotel photographer. He’s the one who got the idea, after experiencing beer baths in Europe.
The bath is filled with clean, hot water infused with all of the ingredients in beer, like hops and barley, but there’s no actual alcohol in there.
Still, Baran says they’ve already had plenty of skeptics in the community; she says that comes with the territory whenever you do something new.
But — while this is a new concept in the U.S., beer baths have been around in other parts of the world for centuries.
