FAQ

If you’re new to Oakwell Beer Spa, we understand you may still have some questions. And we’ve got all the answers! We want you to know what to expect to get the most of your relaxing spa day.

Can I really drink beer during my spa treatments?

Absolutely! When you arrive at Oakwell Beer Spa, you get a double-wall insulated, stainless steel tumbler to use in the taproom and in your Beer Therapy™ Room. Our special cups allow your beverage to stay chilled while you relax in the sauna and beer bath.  In your Beer Therapy™ Room, you’ll find a robe and slippers in case you need to refill your drink. You can also use our ring bell system, and we’ll fill your tumbler back up for you! The only place we ask you not to take your drink to is the Relaxation Lounge, where you can kick back and enjoy our Zero Gravity Massage chairs.

What spa services do you offer anyways?

Oakwell Beer Spa isn’t just your regular day spa! We offer various unique spa treatments that allow you to relax differently. Our Beer Therapy™ Room features a beer bath, infrared sauna, and rain shower. We also have a Relaxation Lounge with Zero Gravity Massage chairs that offer an incredible full-body massage.

How does the self-serve beer wall work?

If you’re ready for an exciting taproom experience, you’ll love our self-serve beer wall! Best of all, it’s easy to use with these simple steps:
  1. We’ll give you a card that unlocks the taps on the beverage wall when you arrive.
  2. Take a look at our rotating selection of beer, cider, and wine where you can also find tasting notes and the price per ounce for each beverage.
  3. Select your drink, scan your card, and pour as much or little as you’d like.
  4. When you’re ready to check out, bring your card to our reception desk to pay for the ounces you poured.

Can I just stop by for a beer without a spa treatment?

Please do! We welcome everyone to come and enjoy our cozy taproom whether you book a spa treatment or not.

Does Oakwell Beer Spa have anything else to drink besides beer?

We do. We know beer isn’t everyone’s thing, or you may want to change it up, so we offer plenty of drink options. Along with craft beer, you can enjoy wine, cider, kombucha, and tea.

Can I hang out in the taproom before and after my treatments?

Most definitely! Our taproom is a welcoming oasis that’s perfect for hanging out. Feel free to grab a drink and kick back before and/or after your spa treatments.
