Cleanse Thyself - Raleigh Soapery

Created in darkness by North Carolina craft beer fanatics who also enjoy good personal hygiene, Raleigh Soapery declares its mission to make dreams of taking a bath in glorious stouts, ales and lagers a reality. Forged in the fiery pits of the Oak City, this handcrafted, natural small batch beer soap provides new ways to enjoy your favorite NC brew. Blood, sweat

and tears (not really... more like fats, oils and beers) and a serious love for handcrafting make every bar unique and of superior quality.

Raleigh Soapery, is owned by Megan Edge and Megan Patton and they're selling their products online. You'll also see Raleigh Soapery and pop-up shops in the Triangle and local street fairs & festivals. The company's product line includes Beer Soap, Beard Soap, Shave Soap, Machinist Brown Ale Soap and Breakfast Soap. Click Here for the current 14 scents and descriptions.

Why Beer Soap? Truthfully, they were just looking for another excuse to add beer to their daily routine. What they came up with was a soap that not only smells amazing but also has actual craft beer in it (a different brew for each scent). They also use all-natural ingredients like orange peel, crushed oats, and real hops to boost the cleaning power and aroma of these sudsy soaps.

The scents are derived from the beer itself and can be described as spicy, roasty, or fruity depending on the variety of soap. Top seller is Frost - Crisp Heliotrope top with supporting

notes of Spring Water, Juniper Berry, Vetyver and Sandalwood.

This soap won't leave you smelling like a stale day-old beer. Since beer is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids, it is an excellent treatment for your skin! It works great as a hand soap, body soap, hard shampoo, and shaving soap. Beer soap is a perfect gift for just about anyone who has ever enjoyed a beer.

Better than having a beer in the shower, wash yourself with an original superior beer soap and enjoy the creamy thick lather created by the combination of all natural ingredients and a local brew.

Raleigh (Beer) Soapery is currently using beers from Trophy Brewing Co., Gizmo Brew Works, Sub Noir Brewing Company and Lonerider Brewing Company to make their products.

Cheers! Here's to #WashYourself.

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on

The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of

The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.

That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.

We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
