The Hudson Valley has no shortage of craft breweries. We're surrounded by them, and honestly, we think that's one of the best things about living up here. So when we started thinking about what makes our bar soap different, the answer was right down the road. We partnered with local brewers to create the Drunkin' Old Goat Milk Bar Soap collection, blending small-batch soap-making with real craft beer, Goat Milk, and ingredients grown close to home.
Turns out the same hops that make a great IPA can do serious things for your skin.
Why Beer and Hops Belong in Your Skincare
Hops are the flowering cones of the Humulus lupulus plant, and yes, they're what gives beer its bitterness and aroma. But they're also quietly one of the better skincare ingredients out there. Rich in antioxidants and naturally anti-inflammatory, hops bring real benefits to the bar.
✨
Antioxidant-rich
Hops contain Polyphenols and Flavonoids that help protect skin from environmental stressors and support a healthy, radiant glow.
🌿
Naturally anti-inflammatory
The natural compounds in hops calm irritation and redness, making beer soap a genuinely great choice for sensitive skin.
💧
Moisturizing and softening
The amino acids in beer nourish the skin and help lock in moisture. You'll feel the difference from the first wash.
🧼
Cleanses without stripping
Beer-based soap cleans effectively while preserving your skin's natural oils, leaving it balanced rather than tight and dry.
Meet the Drunkin' Old Goat Collection
We've always been known for our handcrafted Goat Milk soap. Goat Milk is naturally rich in Lactic Acid, vitamins, and proteins that are gentle and nourishing for all skin types. When we decided to blend that Goat Milk with real craft beer, something special happened. The collection we landed on celebrates local makers, great beer, and skin that actually feels good.
Every bar in the Drunkin' Old Goat collection is handcrafted with locally sourced Sunflower Seed Oil, Organic Fair Trade Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Castor Oil. No palm oil, nothing synthetic, no shortcuts. Just real soap made in small batches with ingredients we stand behind. Suitable for all skin types, though if you have a gluten sensitivity, just a heads up that beer-based bars do contain gluten.
The Three Bars
Honey Ale: Crisp and Fruity
Light, naturally sweet, and uplifting. This bar is scented with real honey and has that crisp, refreshing quality of a well-made ale. If you like your skincare to feel like a mood boost in the morning, this is your bar.
Oatmeal Stout: Warm and Spicy
Rich, cozy, and grounding. Notes of toasted oats and warm spice make this the one you reach for on a cold morning or after a long day. It's the shower equivalent of settling in by the fire.
Cheers for Beers: Zesty Grapefruit
Bold, bright, and invigorating. The tangy zest of grapefruit meets a hoppy finish for a bar that wakes you up fast. This one has a following for a reason.
