Choosing the Brew

The first step of mastering the shower beer art form is selecting the right brew. Luckily, people like beer. This makes this step an exciting one, but with excitement comes responsibility. When selecting a beer to take into the shower, think about the boldness of the beer and how it will add to the aesthetic of the experience. Darker beers, for example, tend to carry heavier hops which could overpower the shower. Heavier, malty beers tend to be more flavorful, yet still bubbly and refreshing. Now, lighter beers and pilsners have a higher carbonation content, making them ideal for the shower. In short, picking out a beer to take into the shower with you should be strategic.

  • Lagers tend to be light and bubbly, perfect for a refreshing shower beer
  • Stouts and darker beers can be excessively strong and overpower the shower beer experience
  • Look for beers with higher levels of carbonation; this will make your shower beer crisp and refreshing
  • Not sure what to pick? Take advantage of the craft beer movement and sample some locally crafted brews!

Preparing for the Bath

This means finding a way to waterproof the selected beer and take it into the shower with you.
