This page explains it all, if you know German.



I'm pretty rusty at the German, but they mention in the second paragraph that bathing in beer is good for you.
This is a pretty brutal translation, but here's the jist...

"Geläger with much beer yeast has become for centuries successful against psoriasis, impure skin, and other skin diseases as well as used in open wounds. In addition, the natural carbon dioxide promotes the through hemorrhage (blood flow) and provides for pliant (elastic) skin. The hops calm the body and spirit."

First off, anytime you couple skin disease and hemorrhaging with beer it's an instant turn-off. And.. open wounds???!!! Whaa... Crimony!!! No thanks!

BTW, hops calms me too. I get five or six 12 oz. hop-filled cans in my tummy, my spirit is about as calm as it gets. :p
