3. Sooth your tired feet.

Pamper yourself or your partner with this special treat. After a long summer day of working on your feet, your might want nothing but a beer to wash the day away. Why not sooth your feet AND drink a few. Pour two beers into a washbasin and soak your feet. Ice-cold brews with high carbonation are ideal as they will be the most soothing for your feet.

4. Turn a bad situation into a way to polish your wooden table.

We’ve all been there—someone has spilled a flat beer on your table. You let it sit and it might leave a ring or get sticky—don’t worry, it doesn’t have to! Flat beer works well to create a nice shine on wood surfaces, just softly rub it onto the wood with a soft cloth and let the magic happen.

5. Have an at home spa experience with homemade beer beauty products.

Beer works great for facial masks and helps to liven up dull hair. To make the facemask just mix together: 1 tablespoon of beer, tablespoon of plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of almond extract. Leave your carbonated concoction on for 15 as it helps to help maintain balanced pH levels.

Is your hair looking dull and lacking luster? Dip your hair in flat beer and rinse the remaining with the leftovers and work it into your scalp. Leave it in for 1 minute and then rinse with water. In the end your hair will be revitalized and looking fabulous.

6. Loosen up those pesky rusty bolts.

Save yourself the stress and sweat of trying to twist and turn with no success, pour a little beer on rusty screws or bolts and they should start to loosen them up—the carbonation of beers help to get the magic working.
