There's nothing better than enjoying an ice cold beer after a long day. Except maybe enjoying an ice cold beer after a long day while getting a beer massage. That's right. A full body and scalp massage using beer. And that's after your skin has been thoroughly exfoliated using malt from a local craft brewery.

Sound like the ultimate guy's spa ex'beer'ience? It is. And you can treat yourself to one at the Ritz-Carlton, Denver.They call it the "Mile High Malt Scrub & Microbrew Massage" and it's an ideal stress reliever that incorporates two beers from the nearby Great Divide Brewing Co.

When you arrive, you will be presented with a chilled brew to drink, followed by an explanation of the benefits of the exfoliating Vichy shower experience you're about to enjoy. Once that's out of the way, the person providing your treatment will mix a rice Ale beer into the brewery’s own malt, then use the resulting malt scrub to give you a full-body exfoliation. After the grime and dead skin are scrubbed off, you'll step into the warm Vichy shower to rinse everything off. To keep your newly exfoliated skin soft, your treatment provider will apply a mask of dark, rich Stout beer.

Now that your skin is brewery-tank clean and baby's bottom soft, it's time for your massage. Your masseuse will mix the foam of Great Divide's thick Yeti beer with moisturizing lotions and use that brewtastic potion to work out the knots from your muscles. A scalp massage using beer is also performed, to get rid of any residual stress. To top the experience off, you can spend some time sipping a beer in the relaxation lounge. This is what heaven would be like if was run by Jim Koch.

The Malt Scrub & Microbrew Massage will run you $200 and lasts a full 75 minutes. A small price to pay for pure beer nirvana.
