Imagine stepping through the gate of a brewery that has been making beer without interruption since 1570 – ancient stone walls breathing centuries of malt and hops, and ahead of you, a wooden tub filled with warm, fragrant beer waiting to take away every knot your body has been carrying. Beer spa Klášter at Hotel Malý pivovar is not a wellness chain experience: it is soaking inside living Czech brewing history, just five minutes off the R10 motorway between Mladá Boleslav and Turnov, and a perfect gateway into the Bohemian Paradise.
Beer spa procedures at Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou are booked directly with the venue or local providers – not through our partners. Prices below are indicative (in CZK) based on publicly available rates. For accommodation near Klášter, use our Booking.com link in the section below.
What to expect at Klášter beer spa
A visit to the beer spa inside Pivovar Klášter is a ritual that weaves together over 450 years of brewing tradition and the deep physical pleasure of a warm hop bath. From the moment you cross the threshold of Hotel Malý pivovar, the atmosphere of a place where beer has been made for centuries wraps around you.
Beer bath in an oak tub (20 min)
You sink into an individual wooden tub filled with warm beer-infused water – a blend of yeast, hops, and barley from local Klášter beer. The compounds absorb through your skin, easing muscles and quieting the mind, while the scent of malt mingles with the calm of the historic stone walls around you. The world outside stops mattering.
Fresh Klášter beer (2× small beer)
While you soak, two small Klášter beers are poured for you – fresh from the brewery that stands just steps away. Beer from a brewery with a tradition going back to 1570 has a character you simply cannot find in a supermarket.
Relaxation in the rest room (20 min)
After the bath you stretch out on a lounger while the beneficial compounds from the beer bath continue their work. Muscles unwind, skin absorbs the vitamins and minerals, and a deep, pleasant calm settles in.
Candlelit dinner (optional add-on)
If you chose the dinner package, the evening ends with a romantic meal in the Hotel Malý pivovar restaurant – Czech cuisine, fresh Klášter beer poured straight from the tank, and the atmosphere of an ancient brewery that no modern hotel can manufacture.
What's included in the standard package
- Beer bath in an individual oak tub (20 min)
- 2× small Klášter beer
- Relaxation in the rest room (20 min)
- Experience for two people
- Gift voucher valid for 1 year
When should you go?
Klášter beer spa is available year-round, Sunday to Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays are reserved for other brewery events, so plan your visit for a weekday or Sunday. Book at least two to three weeks ahead – tub capacity is limited and popular slots fill quickly.
Tip: Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit. The surrounding landscape – between the Jizera River valley and the edge of the Bohemian Paradise – is at its most beautiful, and you can easily combine the beer spa with a hike through the sandstone rocks of Hrubá Skála or a cycle along the river. The voucher is valid for a full year, so buy now and wait for the perfect weekend.
Which experience to choose?
Klášter offers three packages, each designed for two people:
- Beer spa Klášter for two (from 2,000 CZK) – beer bath, two beers, and relaxation. The ideal first encounter with beer wellness, or a quick escape from everyday life.
- Beer spa with dinner (from 3,000 CZK) – the most popular package. Add a romantic candlelit dinner in the brewery restaurant to the full spa session. The complete evening for two.
- Beer bath with massage (from 3,099 CZK) – two hours of comprehensive wellness: the beer bath paired with a professional back and neck massage. Maximum recovery for body and mind.
Health benefits of a beer bath
A beer bath at Klášter is more than a great experience – it comes with real, documented health benefits from the natural ingredients in beer. Hops, yeast, and barley work on your body in ways that even people who never drink beer will notice and appreciate.
Boosts circulation
The 35 °C hop-infused water activates the heart and drives blood flow to every part of the body. Vessels expand; blood flows better.
Strengthens immunity
B-group vitamins from live brewer's yeast support the immune system – absorbed directly through the skin during the bath.
Soothes skin
Hop acids have bacteriostatic properties – they calm acne, eczema, and irritated skin. Your skin emerges softer and better hydrated.
Melts away stress
Hops are a natural sedative – they calm the nervous system and ease you into a depth of relaxation that normally takes hours to reach.
Rejuvenates skin
Enzymes and minerals in the beer water detoxify the body and visibly soften the skin. Barley delivers hydration; yeast supports cell renewal.
Relieves aches
Lupulon in hops acts as a natural analgesic – it eases sore joints, tight muscles, and a stiff neck accumulated from months at a desk.

Why Klášter for a beer spa?
Pivovar Klášter has been brewing without interruption since 1570 – over 450 years on the same site. Very few breweries in Bohemia can claim that kind of unbroken continuity. It is this setting – where history is quite literally built into the walls – that makes the beer spa here something genuinely different from a standard wellness hotel.
- One of the oldest operating breweries in Bohemia – Pivovar Klášter has been brewing continuously since 1570, more than 450 years of uninterrupted tradition
- Easy access from Prague – just five minutes from the R10 motorway junction, about 80 km from Prague and approximately 90 minutes by car heading towards Turnov
- Gateway to the Bohemian Paradise – an ideal stop on the way to Český ráj, with easy day trips to Turnov, Hrubá Skála, and the ruins of Trosky Castle
- Intimate, authentic atmosphere – not a mass-market wellness resort, but a real working brewery with its own hotel and restaurant on site
- Three packages for every preference – from the straightforward beer bath to the full evening with massage, always for two people
Why you will love it
Anniversary gift for my wife and it landed perfectly. The Klášter brewery has an incredible atmosphere – old stone walls, the scent of malt, total quiet. The bath was wonderful and the candlelit dinner afterwards was the finishing touch. Easy to reach from the motorway too.
We stopped here on the way to Český ráj – a brilliant idea. The relaxation after the bath is unlike anything I have experienced. Silk-soft skin and the Klášter beer poured straight from the brewery? You simply cannot compare that to anything from a bottle.
The back and neck massage before the bath was exactly what I needed after months hunched over a screen. Then twenty minutes in the beer bath with a pint in hand, inside an actual historic brewery. I left feeling like I had been on holiday for a week. We will definitely go back.
The history of Pivovar Klášter
The story of brewing in Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou begins in 1570, when Premonstratensian monks established a brewery within the monastery complex. Beer has been made here continuously ever since – through centuries, through changing regimes, through wars. Pivovar Klášter is among the oldest still-operating breweries in Bohemia.
The name "Klášter" (meaning "monastery") is no coincidence – the small town of Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou owes its very identity to the Premonstratensian monastery whose complex still dominates the surrounding landscape. The brewing tradition survived Josephine reforms, nationalisation, and privatisation alike – and today Pivovar Klášter is known across the Czech Republic for its light and dark lagers.
Hotel Malý pivovar was built directly within the brewery complex, offering not only beer spa treatments but also accommodation and a restaurant serving Czech cuisine. This means a visit to the beer spa can easily become a full day trip or a romantic weekend away – with an authenticity that no modern wellness hotel can replicate.
Klášter & around
Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou is a picturesque small town in the Liberec Region, set along the Jizera River between Mladá Boleslav and Turnov. Life here revolves around the brewery and the quiet countryside – an ideal escape from city noise. And nearby, within easy reach, lies one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the Czech Republic: the Bohemian Paradise.
What to see and do
- Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj) – sandstone rock cities, Hruboskalsko, Prachovské skály, and the ruined castle of Trosky are just 20–30 km away
- Turnov – the gateway to the Bohemian Paradise, home to the Bohemian Paradise Museum and the city of semi-precious stones (15 km)
- Mladá Boleslav – the Škoda Museum, historic centre, and château in the opposite direction (15 km)
- Mnichovo Hradiště Château – a Baroque château with a beautiful park, just 5 km from the brewery
- Sychrov Château – a neo-Gothic "fairy-tale" château surrounded by an English park (25 km)
- The Jizera River – ideal for summer swimming, kayaking, and riverside walks
Getting to Klášter Hradiště
