The first-ever beer swimming pools has been launched in Austria.

The Schloss Starkenberger brewery in Tarrentz have put together seven 13 foot pools filled with their trademark brew, but taking a dip in the boozy beverage comes at a steep price of £200 per two hours.

However, believe it or not, the benefits of beer soaking into your skin include having softer skin and can even help cure skin conditions.

Those needing to chill out and relax will be pleased to hear that the hops also work as a calming agent.

The only setback could be the fact that the beer pool is not cleaned after each person takes their dip.
