Butter Beer ???

[Siriusblack]

The Hogs Head bar also has pumpkin fizz which I was told is the pumpkin juice with sprite if I recall. Did not try it, maybe next time!

So there's no actual beer in it?

Nope not in butter beer.


The pumpkin fizz at HH is lighter and more refreshing than the pumpkin juice in the bottle. I take fizz over juice. But takin fizz over butter beer is harder to convince myself to do.

And then the HH beer isn't totally to my taste, so I got it once with the mug and that's the only time I've had it.

In the books and movies it's slightly alcoholic (it gets houselves drunk and Hermione tipsy), but the park version is totally dry, because American laws aren't quite like British (wizarding?) laws lol

I`m going to try the fizz this year, didn`t know about it till few weeks ago when one of my friends tried it. Sounds nice

We like the frozen butterbeer too. Wouldn`t be able to drink too many of them but, nice.

We like the frozen better too, usually end up getting 2-3 frozen drinks to share amongst the 4 of us, as the trip we bought each of us one, none of us finished it. I don't drink sugar sweetened drinks usually, so it seems very sweet to me. My kids usually manage to drink 2/3 of a cup each before they are tired of drinking it/it becomes too much for them.

Isn't there a pumpkin drink as well? If so, how is that?

The pumpkin juice was really, really good. We had the non bottled, non fizz version at the HH. To me it tasted very much like a smooth apple cider but with a pumpkin pie kind of spiciness. Very refreshing.

We also tried both frozen and non frozen versions of the Butterbeer (hey there were three of us, we chose 1 beverage each and families are all about sharing ). I preferred the frozen, to me it tasted creamier, but the descriptions of the flavor are spot on.

I didn't find the butterbeer overly sweet but then I didn't drink an entire glass by myself.

And the difference in opinions and tastes is why I personally recommend buying ONE bottle of pumpkin juice and trying it, to see if you are a family that finds it refreshing or finds it like drinking a liquid pumpkin pie.

In the butter beer... no.

But if you want a Harry Potter themed beer, You can get a Hogs Head in the WWoHP.

What is butterbeer? Why it's a delicious beverage! You've been told how it tastes so I won't go into detail but I do want to add that you should try both! Our family is split on which is better. Pumpkin juice tastes like pear/apple juice with pumpkin spices. Yeah, it sounds weird but I found it quite tasty. I didn't try it until we came home because I was sharing it with some friends who wanted to know what it tasted like but I wish I had bought more. I think you can get it online the pumpkin juice....not the butterbeer

I hate the Butterbeer. It is too sweet and has a weird texture to me. Pumpkin juice on the other hand, I love and will always get. I did not know about the Fizz version...sounds good!

Does anyone want to venture a guess on the calorie count? I know we aren't supposed to think of such things on vacation, but just curious.

I'm trying harder not to think about what it would do to my blood glucose levels. I think I'll just take a few sips from the kids cups to keep myself out of a diabetic coma.

[BuddyThomas]

Well that's good news! I was expecting about 600 calories before I added my vodk....cough, cough....I mean water to it to make it go down smoother.

 

[cbsnyber1]

Just one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time . . .

LOVE LOVE LOVE the butterbeer. Usually have 2 a day, once in the early afternoon and then in the evening. Prefer frozen over regular. Not too sweet for me. And I am someone who rarely drinks regular soda since my Dad and Brother are diabetics, so I grew up with diet sodas in the house.

Now for the pumpkin juice, YUCK! It tasted bitter to me, I took a few sips, that was it.

We are addicted to the icees. The best place for an icee is by men in black. Best selection
