==============================

The butterscotch-citrus soap that happens to be made with real craft beer.

First, let's address the name change. This was our Oatmeal Stout Beer Soap. Same recipe, new name that actually describes what it smells like. Customers would hesitate to smell it, imagining stale bar floors. Then they'd sniff and say "butterscotch!" or "caramel citrus!" So we renamed it. Butterscotch Brew, because alliteration works and accuracy matters. The scent? Warm butterscotch up front, bright citrus notes dancing through, malty sweetness underneath. Ana's husband finally found a soap that doesn't smell "too floral." Dale calls it "the ultimate soap for us guys!" But here's what matters: the beer isn't a gimmick.

We use real Oregon oatmeal stout because beer's amino acids soften skin and create incredible lather. Oregon hops because they're literally used in high-end skincare for anti-inflammatory properties. Real cocoa for antioxidants and that rich, dark color. The beer and hops work together creating what Dale calls "unbelievable": a creamy, moisturizing lather that happens to smell like butterscotch heaven. This is craft meeting craft. Local beer, local soap, completely unexpected result.

"We renamed this because people would hesitate to even smell it, thinking 'beer soap' meant old bar smell. But sniff it: butterscotch, bright citrus, warm malt. The beer and hops aren't gimmicks. Beer's amino acids create that creamy lather Dale loves. Hops are literally used in skincare for anti-inflammatory properties. Oregon oatmeal stout plus Oregon hops plus cocoa equals this butterscotch-citrus magic. We just gave it a name that matches what it actually smells like."

Why You'll Love The Butterscotch Brew Soap Bar

• Butterscotch-Citrus Surprise: Everyone expecting "beer smell" gets butterscotch and citrus instead. Warm, sweet, bright. Not a hint of pub floor.
• Real Oregon Stout: Locally sourced craft beer provides amino acids for skin-softening and that incredible creamy lather.
• Oregon Hops: Not just for flavor. Hops deliver actual anti-inflammatory benefits used in high-end skincare.
• Rich Cocoa: Adds antioxidants and creates the beautiful dark color. Depth without heaviness.
• Non-Floral Masculinity: Ana's husband and Dale enthusiastically approve. Finally, a sophisticated scent without flowers.

This Is Why We Do It

"I love all the Emz Blends soaps, but sometimes my husband finds them to be too floral for his liking. The Oatmeal Stout Beer Soap smells great to me and meets his approval as a less feminine smelling soap and of course it's moisturizing as well."

The Ritual

Lather up and let the butterscotch hit first: warm, sweet, comforting. Then notice the citrus brightness cutting through. The malty base note grounds everything. This is what beer in soap actually does: creates incredibly creamy, rich lather thanks to amino acids. The hops calm inflammation. The cocoa protects with antioxidants. The oats add gentle exfoliation. It's comfort in a bar: butterscotch sweetness, citrus brightness, craft beer benefits. Perfect for anyone who wants sophisticated scent without florals.
