Austrian beer lovers are being given the opportunity to swim in a pool of their favourite drink.
Spa owners in Starkenberg, Austria are filling three pools with 42,000 pints of lager, must to the delight of their customers.
They claim beer can treat skin conditions, blood circulation and help cure wounds.
Bathers can even drink from the 13ft beer pools if they wish, although there are several bars around the poolside promising a cleaner pint.
Head barman Markus Amann, 23, said: "These pools really can help some health problems - but if they don't work for you, you'll probably have drunk enough not to care about it anymore."
Starkenberg is a municipality in the district Altenburger Land, in Thuringia, Germany. On 1 December 2008, it incorporated the former municipalities Naundorf and Tegkwitz.
