Flying Cauldron Has Magical News For Fans Of Harry Potter's Butterbeer
Happy Birthday Harry Potter. The fictional wizard who stole our hearts in J.K. Rowling's novels about a magical world just beyond our muggle-brain reach turns 41 this week. It's true. In her books, Rowling penned Potter's date of birth: July 31, 1980 (via National Today). According to USA Today, that makes Potter a skin-of-his-teeth member of Gen X 一 or, perhaps more accurately, a Xennial, the sub-generation made up of people born between 1977 and 1983. A side note: July 31 also happens to be Rowling's birthday.
Just in time to celebrate Potter's birthday, Reed's Inc., the company that produces Flying Cauldron, is introducing a little something that may help take the sting out of the passage of time. Responding to fan requests, the company is now offering Flying Cauldron, its non-alcoholic butterscotch beer, in 16-ounce cans (via The Globe and Mail). Previously, Flying Cauldron was only offered in glass bottles. Made without artificial preservatives, flavors, or sweeteners, non-alcoholic Flying Cauldron recalls the creamy vanilla butterscotch flavored brew Potter and his Hogwarts buddies savored during their excursions to the magical village of Hogsmeade.

It may be Harry Potter's birthday, but everyone gets a chance to win a prize. Celebrating the fictional wizard's birthday and the launch of its new 16-ounce cans, Flying Cauldron is running a Wizardly Giveaway Sweepstakes. Enter by August 15 for a chance to win delivery of 12 16-ounce cans of Flying Cauldron per month (shipped quarterly) along with one shipment of two dozen limited-edition Toasted Mallow treats. And beverage burnout is not an option. BevNet suggests topping the non-alcoholic butterscotch cream soda with a scoop of ice cream.
While the butterbeer Rowling described in her novels made imbibers feel a little bit tipsy 一 in one passage Hermione lets loose while Harry parties with the faculty, Flying Cauldron is alcohol- and caffeine-free, so it's an option for witches, wizards, and muggles of all ages.
Priced at $35 per 12-pack, the new 16-ounce cans are available on the Flying Cauldron Web Store.
