What is Butterbeer?

Butterbeer started off as a fictitious beverage that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling imagined for the wizarding world that lies within the pages of her books. Universal Studios brought it to life for fans by introducing it as a drink option for those who visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in theme parks.

The drink is wildly popular, and fans consume a lot of it. Some find it too sweet with its cream soda and butterscotch flavors, but plenty of people order it over and over again. In fact, did you know that Butterbeer sales helped Universal make back the $260M investment it made to build the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in just 6 months?

Now, butterbeer can be found in 6 forms. In addition to the original drink, fans can order Frozen Butterbeer, Hot Butterbeer, Butterbeer Softserve, Butterbeer Fudge, and Butterbeer Potted Cream.

And now there is yet another version of Butterbeer available. If you have dietary preferences or allergies, this is great news for you!
