The ancient Egyptians knew that beer, in addition to making parties more fun and allowing white guys to dance, had incredible cleansing powers. Actually, thats not true. Even with beer we white guys can’t dance. But apparently beer does have the power to clean.
Discovered by our obsessively hygienic friends over at Asylum, The Beer Soap Company has been mixing beer with unrefined shea butter and olive, palm kernel, sunflower, and castor oils, to create a handmade, spuds-and-suds-laden soap that works for showering, shampooing or shaving. And if you think washing up with brew will leave you smelling like you spent a long day working the line at Schlitz, their Guinness Extra Stout is described as “very heady with a chocolate aroma and flavor, along with coffee.”
They’ve mixed up over a dozen varieties, featuring everything from Newcastle Brown Ale to Tsingtao and even Hornsby’s Hard Apple Cider.
Keep a couple of the big 4.5 oz bars on hand, so when your girl asks if you’ve been out drinking with your boys, tell her, “Nope, I just got out of the shower.”
$5. Any 5 for $20
