Why Beer Makes a Great Soap

            PBR beer soap

Beer soaps make wonderful gifts for beer lovers, but that's not the only reason for using beer in a bar of soap!

Why Beer Makes a Great Bar of Soap

  1. The naturally occurring sugars in beer make for a smooth, creamy lather with lots of extra bubbles.
  2. Hops contain amino acids and vitamins that soothe inflammation and irritated skin (like from ingrown hairs or dermatitis). This and the lather, make it a great bar for shaving, as well.
  3. Brewer's yeast is antibacterial, so when used as a facial bar it can aid in treating acne and balancing oil levels.
  4. The vitamins and proteins in beer make it great for repairing the hair. I have found bar soaps to be drying for my hair (it's the wrong pH for dry hair), but for someone with an oily or flaky scalp, beer soaps make a great shampoo. Or try it as a beard wash!
  5. It's the ideal soap to use when you're having a shower beer. ;)

My Beer Soaps

PBR Soap

 

PBR soap is the perfect gift for any Pabst Lover!

Made with Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, this soap features a fragrance that smells EXACTLY like a freshly poured glass of PBR.

The packaging parodies the Pabst logo, and everyone who spots these bars will make a beeline for our booth. Fun Fact: Pabst Canada ran a giveaway using our PBR soaps on their Instagram page. And then they sent us some fun swag!

Big Grove Brewery Soaps

Only available at Big Grove Brewery locations in Iowa! 3 varieties of beer soaps are available in fragrances that correspond with their craft beer flavors: Easy Eddy, Citrus Surfer and Burch the Bear.
