Laško Celebrates 200 Years of Brewing Tradition with a Unique Beer-Inspired Wellness Experience

Laško Celebrates 200 Years of Brewing Tradition with a Unique Beer-Inspired Wellness Experience

In 2025, Laško celebrates 200 years of brewing heritage with a unique blend of wellness, gastronomy, and tradition. As Laško gears up for its milestone brewing anniversary, visitors are invited to raise a glass – and perhaps take a dip – to celebrate two centuries of brewing mastery.
 

In 2025, the town of Laško will proudly mark 200 years of exceptional brewing heritage, celebrating the beverage that has carried its name across the globe – beer. While Laško is famed for its thermal waters, it is beer that has left an indelible mark on the town’s identity. Honouring this rich tradition, Thermana Laško has taken the story of beer beyond the brewery, crafting a unique wellness and culinary experience that blends relaxation with local authenticity.

Beer Wellness: A Brew for the Body and Soul

Thermana Laško has elevated the town’s brewing legacy by introducing beer wellness, a one-of-a-kind concept that offers deep relaxation and skin nourishment. At its heart is a specially crafted beer-infused spa experience, where a signature beer treatment bar combines massage and bathing, using premium natural ingredients that are also essential in brewing high-quality beer.

Reviving a Historic Tradition: Thermal Beer

As part of its 170th anniversary celebrations last year, Thermana Laško has expertly revived thermal beer, drawing inspiration from the 19th century when spa owner Theodor Gunkl pioneered the unique fusion of the town’s two most treasured resources – thermal water and beer. During his era, Laško became renowned for this innovative blend, which symbolised the harmonious marriage of nature’s gifts. In a heartfelt tribute to this tradition, guests can once again savour this distinctive brew, carefully crafted using Laško’s famed thermal water, offering a taste of history in every sip.
