Butterbeer was a popular wizarding beverage described as tasting "a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch". It was served at numerous locations in the wizarding world and had a very slight alcoholic content. Students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would often buy it when visiting Hogsmeade. Butterbeer was served cold in bottles and hot in "foaming tankards."In Hogsmeade, it's sold at The Three Broomsticks and The Hog's Head.
