Check Beer Spa off the Boozy Blondes’ boozy bucket list! (Then add it again 1000 more times because the girls want to go back again and again and again!) Since the Boozy Blondes Podcast inception, the girls have wanted to visit the Beer Spa in Orlando, Florida, and now they are dishing all the details and pro tips to make the most out of your visit.
The DOE is beer of course! The girls are enjoying Sour Me Gummy Bear, a 5.5% sour ale from Duclaw Brewing.
The Beer Spa offers rooms to accommodate 1 - 4 adults. Each room has a (or two) soaking thermal tub(s), which is a bath of Beer Spa’s signature beer treatment, infrared sauna, chill hay lounge, full bathroom, and complimentary, unlimited self-serve beer. Beers from Ivanhoe Park Brewing in Orlando were on tap when the blondes visited, and for a $10 up-charge you can add sangria, wine and Prosecco to your experience. The girls brought boozy bros along for this adventure, so they reserved the two-tub, four-adults room, and added the sangria to their experience.
They reserved the room for 60 minutes, and Beer Spa staff recommends you soak for up to 45 minutes, then enjoy the sauna and/or hay bed for the remaining 15 minutes. Some benefits of the soak are:
- beer yeast: considered an extremely healing ingredient and contains B vitamins and saccharides, which help exfoliate, purify and renew the skin while locking in moisture
- hops: a natural sedative plant brimming with antioxidants, anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory properties
- hydrotherapy: soaking in warm water allows your pores to open to enhance skin absorption, it can improve your mood and increase positive emotions, it gets the blood moving increasing circulation and relaxing tight muscles.
- aromatherapy: the smell of hops treats insomnia and has an anti-anxiety effect in the body
If you enjoy saunas, there are many benefits to spending time in there. It enhances collagen production strengthening and rejuvenating skin complexion. It improves circulation and lowers blood pressure. It detoxifies and relieves joint pain and muscle soreness and helps the body release endorphins!
The Boozy Blondes share some pro-tips from this experience during the episode too:
- Go! Enjoy it!
- Wear your bathing suit under your clothes
- Add the extra 30 minutes (60 minutes flies by and the girls wish they had more time to experience all the room had to offer)
- Don’t be surprised when you pull up the building – it’s in an unassuming strip mall
- Bring cash to tip the Beer Spa team
- Shower while you are in your beer spa room (even though they advise you wait 2 hours to shower)
- If you’re not a beer drinker, add the wine and sangria option for $10
- Don’t forget about your wet bathing suits after the trip – they will smell like an old bar mat in the plastic bag if you leave them in there too long
There are plenty of photo ops and Instagrammable places in Beer Spa, so prepare to have some extra time to take fun pictures! We got our custom swimsuits at Rave Suits.
