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.

Of course I suppose it's not 'real' beer?

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.

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.
