Nothing rejuvenates like a spa treatment and a Madison, Wisconsin based resort is expanding its treatments to include a taste of local craft beer, making an already amazing experience that much better.
The Edgewater, an urban resort, has introduced three new spa treatments, all of which emphasize special ingredients to revitalize the skin and mental health, followed by a local beer to cap off the indulgence. Available throughout June, July and August, these Brew-Inspired Summer Spa Treatments feature blends of key ingredients like berries, hibiscus, tangerines, honey and oats with each treatment ending with Wisconsin beer in hand. Spa director Kelleye Heydon says the decision to add local beer to the spa treatments was an obvious one, as beer is not only loaded with essential ingredients that are perfect for spa treatments, it is also an important part of the local culture.
“Many of the vitamin-infused ingredients found in quality craft beers lend themselves to nourishing spa treatments, too,” says Heydon, who recently joined The Edgewater from Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. “It seems natural to blend the two and we had fun putting together treatments that paid tribute to local favorites.”
Here are the three available Brew Inspired Summer Spa Treatments:
Sweet Berry Body Treatment featuring Big Sister Witbier from Door County Brewing Co.
This sweet, boozy treatment starts with a Rasmopolitan Vodka Body Polish, featuring essence of fresh raspberries with Square One organic vodka, rice bran oil and vitamin E., to remove dead skin and provide a vibrant glow. A velvety whip of honey and oat-infused yogurt and soothing white clay is then applied, followed by a warm cocoon of blankets to activate yogurt cultures, thereby purifying and hydrating the skin. A Strawberry Smash double moisturizer, made with live fruit cells and sweet cream, finishes the skin with a dewy softness. This luxurious treatment lasts 60 minutes for a price of $120.
Following the Sweet Berry Body treatment, guests enjoy a pint of Big Sister Witbier from Door County Brewing Co. A fitting match for the treatment, this rosy pink witbier is brewed with citrus Belgian pepper yeast for a subtle spicy note, as well as hibiscus flowers for a tart and sweet berry flavor.
Stress Reliever Massage featuring Tangerine IPA from Potosi Brewing Company
Swedish and Deep Tissue massage techniques are enhanced with a specialized tangerine essential oil to relax and reduce stress, boost the immune system, and increase circulation and hydration. This treatment lasts 60 minutes, at a price of $120 or if you prefer, 90 minutes for a price of $150.
Following the Stress Reliever Massage, guests enjoy a refreshing pint of Tangerine IPA from Potosi Brewing Company. The fresh taste of tangerine juice and generous doses of hops lend to a refreshing and cleanly hopped experience.
Three Beaches Honey Blonde Pedicure featuring Tyranena
Honey and magnolia flower essence envelope the treatment room as guests enjoy a foot soaking featuring a special blend of grapeseed, olive, and orange peel oils filled with antioxidants and vitamins. A whipped honey sea salt scrub leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated and fresh and a pajama paste of succulent yogurt, honey and oat mask quenches the skin. A creamy vitamin E-enriched Sunflower Honey Butter Serum provides a gloriously fragrant finish, helping to repair and protect skin. This treatment lasts 75 minutes for a price of $70.
Following the Three Beaches Honey Blonde Pedicure, guests enjoy a pint of Three Beaches Honey Blonde, the Wisconsin version of the American Blonde Ale. This beer is light-bodied with a sweet touch of honey and a mild citrus accent, and is brewed by Tyranena in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.
These treatments are offered only during the summer, so the time to take advantage is limited. For more information or to make a reservation call 608-535-8240 or visit https://www.theedgewater.com/spa/spa-services/.
