What Is It?

Claiming to be the “World’s only beer swimming pool”, the Schloss Starkenberger brewery is an old brewery in the Starkenberger Castle in Tarrenz, Austria that has 7 beer pools in a Turkish-bath-like room. The guests can enter this nearly four metres deep pool with around 42,000 pints of ale brewed in the brewery here. The beer pools opened in the year 2005 after the fermentation cellar of around 700-year old Starkenberger castle became obsolete.

What’s In It?

Beer!

But doesn’t 7 pools filled entirely with beer sound just too unreal?

Also not just swim, but you can also drink beers while in the pool (Just not from the pool). You can order another glass to drink from. There are around 13 different beers available in the castle’s brewery that can be sipped and relaxed with.
