What is the beer spa experience like?

This is the highlight of the tour and what sets it apart from typical tasting excursions. You’ll start by dipping into an Inoko beer barrel designed for two, where bubbles and beer components like hops and yeast do their magic. It’s similar to a bath but with added wellness benefits, and according to reviews, the experience has a fun, slightly quirky vibe. While soaking, you can enjoy unlimited free beer from cold clay jugs, and munch on a cold snack.

The low-temperature beer sauna follows, which is supposed to refresh your skin and open your pores. After that, you lounge on relaxation beds made of barley, intended for skin nourishment and relaxation. Many visitors mention feeling surprisingly rejuvenated afterward, and you do receive a certificate confirming your beer spa experience, which makes for a fun souvenir or bragging rights.

However, keep in mind that the experience is quite structured, and some might find the bathing process a bit short or less immersive than expecting a full spa day. Still, it’s a playful twist on wellness that pairs well with the beer tasting to come.

The brewery and beer tasting

Shortly after unwinding in the spa, you walk about 300 meters to the city’s most exclusive brewery. This part of the tour offers a chance to learn about the history and stories behind some beloved beers. A beer sommelier guides you through four styles: Lager, Belgian, American IPA, and Porter, each offering a different flavor profile and brewing style.

Expect to learn about what makes each beer special, from ingredients to brewing techniques. The reviews highlight guides as knowledgeable and friendly, making the tasting both educational and enjoyable. We loved the way they shared stories behind each brew, adding a layer of depth to the experience.

You’ll pair these beers with a cheese platter featuring regional varieties, including smoked sheep’s cheese from Valladolid, cow’s milk cheese from Girona, and goat’s milk cheese from Alicante. Complemented by Iberian cured meats, this is a well-rounded tasting that balances flavors and introduces you to some local delicacies. The beers are top-quality, and the cheeses and meats are described as authentic and flavorful.

Who is this tour best for?

This experience is perfect for adults who appreciate good beer and are interested in learning more about different styles, especially those curious about the brewing process. It’s an enjoyable choice for couples, friends, or groups celebrating a special occasion like a bachelor party. If you’re someone looking for a relaxing yet lively activity with a focus on local flavors and fun, this tour ticks many boxes.

That said, it’s not suitable for children, pregnant women, or those with mobility challenges due to the spa activities and walking involved. It’s also worth noting that the tour is centered around enjoyment rather than comprehensive wellness, so don’t expect a full spa day; it’s more of a playful, beer-themed relaxation.

The practical details

The tour costs $188 per person, which is a fair price considering the inclusions—spa, four beers, tapas, a guided tour, and a certificate. It lasts about four hours, which is enough time to enjoy each part without feeling rushed. Transport isn’t included, so plan your arrival at the meeting point—Mercado Central de Alicante—accordingly.

You’ll want to bring swimwear and flip-flops for the spa, and note that towels are provided, though if you forget yours, disposable options are available for an extra charge. It’s a structured experience, so sticking to the schedule helps ensure you get the most out of it.
