The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the hotly anticipated new Florida theme park, will open in the spring and allow visitors to tour Hogwarts, buy quidditch gear and drink butterbeer.

Universal Lifts Veil on Harry Potter Theme Park
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I thought butter beer was supposed to be non-alcoholic?

Actually, I don't think it is....I can't remember right now (I'm tired, had a long week and a long one still to come) but I'm pretty sure that at least one of the characters acted a bit drunk after drinking butterbeer.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:I thought butter beer was supposed to be non-alcoholic?

Re: Universal Lifts Veil on Harry Potter Theme Park
Right after the book came out that talked about butter beer, I remember seeing a story about a micro-brewery that named an ale "butter-beer"
I believe they put something that gave it a "butter rum" type of flavor!
Mmmmmm!!!!

I got an up-date from UV, FL on the Harry Potter Park. They are having a bar that serves butter beer. So, I am guessing it is alcoholic drink.
