| − | Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited, constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never voted for legislation unless the proposed measure was expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill. |

- "Why don't we go and have a butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks, it's a bit cold, isn't it?"
- — Hermione Granger inviting Harry Potter to the Three Broomsticks Inn.[src]
Butterbeer is a popular wizarding beverage described as tasting "a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch."[1] It is served at numerous locations in the wizarding world and has a very slight alcoholic content.
Description
- "Enjoy a foaming mug of this popular wizarding beverage."
- — Description[src]
a mug of Butterbeer
Butterbeer is served cold in bottles and hot in "foaming tankards".[2] In Hogsmeade, it's sold at The Three Broomsticks[2] and The Hog's Head,[3] although the fact that the latter pub's stock was described as "very dusty" suggests that it was not sold there very often. In Diagon Alley, the drink has been known to be sold at the Leaky Cauldron.It is made out of butter, sugar and water.
At the Hog's Head, customers are charged two sickles per Butterbeer (£0.60 approximately),[3] but it is not certain whether this is a universal price for the drink, or if the price of the drink varies from location to location.
Alcoholic Content
It may have a very slight alcohol content, which could get house-elves in a drunk-like state,[4] though an antidote to this exists. It seems to have a less pronounced effect on humans than smaller creatures such as house-elves, but humans can still fall "under the influence" of it.[5][6] In 1996, Harry Potter wondered what Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger might do at Professor Horace Slughorn's Christmas Party "under the influence of Butterbeer",[5] indicating that it could lower inhibitions, perhaps like alcohol. Winky, a house-elf, took to getting a drunk-like state off Butterbeer after losing her job with the Crouch family[4] — an addiction from which she never fully recovered.[7]
Behind the scenes
A sign advertising Butterbeer.
- Michael Gambon, the actor who has portrayed Albus Dumbledore since the third film, once said that the first thing he will do when he gets to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park is to order eight pints of Butterbeer. He states, "...it is not alcoholic, and it is refreshing."[8]
- Executive Chef of Universal Parks and Resorts, Steve Jayson commented that butterbeer is "Real comforting and nice and smooth going down".[8]
- Butterbeer at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter can be served either cold with a taste similar to cream soda or frozen as a slush with a butterscotch-like foam on top. One may also purchase it either in a regular plastic cup or in a collectible mug. As of 12 December, 2012, over five million glasses of butterbeer have been served at the park, an event that was commemorated by the park giving away free butterbeers to one thousand guests that day.[9] Butterbeer is also served at The Making of Harry Potter.
- Butterbeer may be based on Buttered Beer, which was a real drink. The earliest reference to Buttered Beer is from, 'The Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin' published in London in 1588 A.D., made from beer, sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cloves and butter back in Tudor times. Another old recipe for Buttered Beer, published by Robert May in 1664 A.D., from his recipe book, 'The Accomplisht Cook' calls for liquorish root and aniseeds to be added. British celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal recreated it for his Tudor Feast.
