Go Swimming in Beer

Presenting the one place in the world where it’s not girly to take a bubble bath: This useful reference proudly explains more about the swimming pools .You can also book your slot in pool builder New Orleans LA to avail the best swimming classes. It was centuries-old Austrian brewery Starkenberger, who’ve built the world’s first-ever beer swimming pools in the recesses of their brew-castle, and, for a paltry fee, you can take a dip. Here’s the skinny:

Located a few hours outside Munich, the setting for the Starkenberger Brewery castle is pretty ridonkulous, though, with the glory that’s awaiting for you inside, you probably won’t want to spend too much time out there.

As a brewery Starkenberger’s been at it for more than a hundred years, and is currently (and always has been) run by women. This bearded dude is merely one of their minions.

Barrels are stored down in their super gothic cellar, which you could see if you dropped $10 on a brewery tour, but totally don’t care about since you came for the beer pools! So, without further ado…

Residing in the old fermentation brewery, there are seven total pools in a Turkish-bath-like room, each of which are heated and contain 12,000L of water enriched with 300L Biergeläger (remote yeast). Fun fact: ever since the days of ancient Egypt when Cleopatra bathed in beer while Mark Anthony was off conquering empires, beer bath’s have been rumored to have a healing, restorative effect.

You’ve gotta make reservations in advance but for $298/ pool (and an additional $6.50/ person) this could be you sharing a beer pool with blonde coeds. Your two hours of beer bathing also come with beer crackers and a “Tyrolean meat spread” plus one non-swimmed-in bottle of suds per person; because actually drinking the pool beer would be insane… right??

Of course, Starkenberger Brewery doesn’t have the only place to bath in beer. You can also go to Chodovar Brewery in Czech Republic.
Beer Drinkers are More Likely to Have Sex on the First Date

Want to increase your odds of getting lucky on a first date? Find someone who drinks beer. A new study points to evidence that those who consume alcohol (not necessarily on the date) are more likely to have sex on the first date.

Both men and women who enjoy a pint are 60 per cent more likely to sleep with someone early in a relationship, statistics show.

This applies to both gay and straight people, according to Christian Rudder, a Harvard graduate who set up dating website OKCupid.

After analysing the profiles and interactions of hundreds of millions of users, Mr Rudder found that beer-drinking was the most useful indicator of whether people are likely to have casual sex. He also found the three questions that best predicted whether couples would actually go on to have a long-term relationship.

1) Wouldn’t it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?
2) Do you like horror movies?
3) Have you ever travelled around another country alone?

The data suggests that compatibility on sensation-seeking may be even more important than more obvious compatibility testers such a date’s opinion on religion, sex, and smoking, observed Psychology Today.

So there you have it, four questions you can ask your date on your first date to gauge your odds of getting lucky that night. I would suggest asking if they enjoy beer first, and then perhaps ask the next three questions while enjoying a beer. If they don’t like beer, well, you’re on your own.
