In this age of Bloomberg's smokeless bars, have you ever woken up after a night of drinking and thought to yourself "geez, I wish I smelled more like a bar?" Well, have we got good news for you! Earlier this week the Brooklyn Brewery began selling...wait for it...Beer Soap. Because beer perfume wasn't enough?

The 2 oz. bars of soap come in $10 "flights" of three flavors (Lager, Brown Ale, and Black Chocolate Stout) and are, the Brewery assures us, all too real. And why not? People already make soap out of things like beef tallow and bacon fat (sure, go ahead: insert your own Fight Club joke here). The Brooklyn folk swear that beer actually makes a great soap.

So go on and lather up your special someone with suds and hops while letting the scent of last night linger. But please, consume responsibly—over ten thousand Americans are injured every year in drunken beer soap bathtub accidents (according to statistics we just made up).
