Review: Beer Soap by BetweenFriends

I recently began browsing handmade website Etsy for vegan soap, since I have been having trouble finding some that is reasonably affordable and lasts.  I came across a number of sellers that were offering soap made from BEER, which I thought was so, so cool.  After a minute or so of searching for more, I found a soap made from Alexander Keiths that was shipped from Toronto!  This gave me the great opportunity to pick up the soap personally and save on unnecessary shipping and packaging materials.

The soap is made by a girl named Maggie under the username BetweenFriends, and so far it's been working great.  In case you are wondering, after I have a shower it doesn't smell like I just downed a keg by myself, the soap actually smells sweeter than beer and also has oils and other ingredients that complement it.  Also, unlike other vegan soaps I have tried, they are holding their shape well, which suggests they will last quite a while (can be a problem with vegan soaps)

If you are interested, there are many other Etsy vendors that sell beer soap, including several that sell Guiness (apparently it smells a bit like caramel).   However, one note of caution: Etsy users ship from all over the world, so if you are trying to keep it green, try and buy local.
