A family brewery in the Czech Republic has opened the world's first beer
health centre in its cellar. The Chodovar Family brewery in Chodova Plana
offers beer baths, beer massages and beer cosmetics.

The cellar has seven huge Victorian style baths where visitors can swim in
beer while enjoying a pint poured at a bathside bar.

"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 quoted Jiri Plevka, the owner as saying.

The guests are charged 80 pounds for weekend packages, and can indulge in a
range of health treatments including beer wraps, starting at 12 pounds per
session.
