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. 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 many forms. In addition to the original drink, fans can order Frozen Butterbeer, Hot Butterbeer, Butterbeer Softserve, Butterbeer Fudge, and Butterbeer Potted Cream.

Typically, you must have a Universal theme park ticket in order to get your hands on a goblet full of the stuff. It is sold in select locations in the parks in Universal Orlando. BUT that is all about to change!

Very soon, Harry Potter fans will be able to get their Butter Beer fix with no theme park admission required. This is great news for everyone.

Universal Orlando Resort recently announced expansion plans for its flagship Universal Studios Store at Universal CityWalk. The expansion plans include an area of the store that will serve Butterbeer. Options will include cold, frozen, hot, and vegan varieties.

The store will also include dedicated space for Super Nintendo World merch in celebration of Epic Universe. We can’t wait for the expansion to be ready.
