The Beer Spa
Looking for a toasty, calming refuge in Colorado where you can #relaxdifferently? The Beer Spa in Denver is the spot to enjoy luxury beer-infused spa treatments that will leave you hoppily rejuvenated & wanting to come back for so much more. Now, let me make you wish you were beer!
We arrived at The Beer Spa and got checked in. The spa is a high-tech wellness space that combines a day spa and taproom into one. The Taproom features Colorado based breweries and does a monthly rotation of their beers on tap. In addition to the numerous beers on tap, the Beer Spa also offers cider, rosé, red wine, sparkling tea, kombucha, non-alcoholic craft beer, and other NA beverages (there is truly something for everyone to enjoy in the taproom).
The Beer Spa's staff was uplifting and passionate about The Beer Spa (& beer in general!). Nick West - the Cicerone - elevated our beer experience with his wide-range knowledge of all the brews in the Taproom & beyond. Beer Therapist, Doug Idlett ensured we had everything we needed during our visit and seamlessly led us through our therapy session. Beer Therapist, Rikki Folger was attentive and friendly and helped us check in and out of The Beer Spa.
While our Beer Therapy room was being prepared, we found our way to the beer taps. This month, the brewery featured in the Taproom was WeldWerks Brewery. I tried the Strawberry Rhubarb Sour Ale and the Juicy IPA.
The Strawberry Rhubarb Sour Ale is one of my favorites from WeldWerks so this selection was a no brainer. The rhubarb and strawberry came together for a mildly sour and sweet flavor profile with moderate carbonation. So tasty and such an easy drinker. The Juicy IPA really surprised me as I generally don't like IPAs - but this one was delicious! The Juicy IPA is brewed in such a way that really milds the hops out making for a 'juicy' finish that is ripe with fruity complexity. I will definitely order the Juicy IPA again in the future.
The Beer Spa serves their beer in temperature controlled tumblers that will keep your beer nice & chilly throughout your spa experience. There were complimentary snacks in the Taproom to munch on while we enjoyed our beers.
After enjoying the Taproom for 15 minutes, we headed to our Beer Therapy room with our tumblers in tow.
The Beer Spa offers several different treatments, services and or packages to select from when visiting. Ross and I went for The Date Night Package which allowed us to enjoy our Beer Therapy treatments with a romantic touch. Candles, rose petals, charcuterie, chocolates & a bottle of sparkling wine were waiting for us in our room. Our Therapy room & Date Night Package included the Infrared Sauna, a rain shower, the Beer Bath Hydrotherapy Tub, beverages, bites, and Zero Gravity Massages (which can be added on to any package for an additional fee).
To begin our treatment, we detoxed in the infrared sauna for 20 minutes. The sauna allowed us to sweat out toxins and really opened up our pores.
We sweated up a storm in the sauna - all about that detoxification - and it felt SO good!
Following the sauna, we popped into the rain shower to cool down and to keep our blood flowing. It was nice to rinse off after getting so sweaty and utilize the Beer Spa’s speciality beer shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
After the rain shower, Ross and I spent time unwinding in the Beer Bath Hydrotherapy Tub. This bath was everything.
A large tea bag of hops & barley soak in the tub making for a type of beer tea that is loaded with vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants - all phenomenal to induce relaxation, reduce skin redness & inflammation and wash away toxins.
While we soaked, we enjoyed our beers, sparkling wine & snacks. The Valrhona chocolates were little confectionery perfections!
Following the Beer Therapy Room we were treated to Zero Gravity Massages in the Zero Gravity Massage chairs. The Zero Gravity chairs were OUT OF THIS WORLD. I have never experienced a massage chair like this and I can't wait to go back for another session.
The ceiling was lit up with mezmerizing - space inspired - green & purple lighting with soothing water sounds and music playing.
The Zero Gravity Massage Chairs tilted us back into neutral positions with our legs elevated and our weight evenly distributed. The chairs then gave us full-body massages using rollers and air compression that methodically kneaded, rolled and squeezed our bodies in all the right places.
I felt like I was floating in space in a giant cocoon - the way the chair held and squeezed me felt like a big hug that hit all the right pressure points. I felt so safe & at peace - very hoptimistic (that’s my last pun I promise). This was the perfect way to end our Beer Spa journey.
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! HUGE thanks to The Beer Spa, Doug Idlett, Nick West, Rikki Folger, Katie Knoch and Hard Knoch PR for hosting us!
