  1. As a homebrewer, that made me cringe. Beer’s for drinking, not bathing.

  2. I have a personal policy against drinking beer that has been in contact with people’s nether regions!

    1. It gives a new meaning to the phrase “drinking one’s own bath water”, doesn’t it?

    1. So run the stout through a horse and it’ll produce the nice pale-amber lager you so enjoy. Best drunk cold, like all lagers.

    2. I bought a book on homebrewing several years ago and it has all sorts of recipes for different kinds of beer.

      There’s one for Russian Imperial Stout that I’d like to try some day. Some wag referred to it as “beer you can chew”, and it’s not that far-fetched. It requires about twice the usual amount of hops and the alcohol content is close to 8%. Normal beer is about 5% and the so-called “light” beers are around 3.75%

      One bottle of that and one’s under the table.

    1. You’ve got that right.

      The beer I make at least has body and flavour!

  3. Some years back, I was working on a documentary on the Vietnamese brewing industry.

    Part of this involved sampling the beers at quitr a number of large and small breweries thoroughout the country.

    Tough job, but somebody had to do it.

    One story we did not get to follow up was that the the top tech at one of the big breweries had tried out the benefits of bathing in beer.

    She decided that it was not good ida as she reported starting to feel the effect of the alcohol afera wile and climbed out of the bath, in case she lost the plot and drowned.

    An takers of absorption of alcohol through the skin during sustained immersion?

      1. Wouldn’t that depend upon whether home brewing is legal in that governing entity?

  4. ohhh kay … each to his/her own … I also hate bubble baths.

    Beer really belongs in a good keg on tap in a great bar or in the backyard, not in a pool, me thinks
