Here's the thing — Butterbeer is warming and delicious, but it's hard to get your hands on. (Mostly because we can't all head over to Universal Studios whenever we want.)
So, to solve our liquid gold dilemma, we teamed up with Yelp to find some of the best spots to buy Butterbeer-inspired food and drinks in the US. The below list was determined by identifying businesses — excluding large chains or those associated with the Harry Potter franchise — with a large concentration of reviews mentioning the word "Butterbeer." Then, the businesses were decided on by using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews.
From cocktails to ice cream to donuts, here are 17 places across the US to find some of the best Butterbeer products.
