This story released today is just too good to pass up! Some very lucky residents of Japan can now bathe themselves in a cold beer spa.

According to an article which came over the Google newswire this afternoon, in a mountainous hot spring resort just a day trip from Tokyo, a spa park is offering a bathtub, shaped like a beer mug, filled with heated amber water and white foam with the aroma of hops and barley.

The spa, Hakone Kowakien Yunessun, is also pouring and spraying real beer into the bath and onto the customers three times a day (as seen in the photo above). The facility says the beer bath moisturises and cleanses the skin.
