There’s no shortage of beer festivals in the US, but there has been a glaring, almost criminal, lack of Harry Potter-themed beer festivals. That’s about to change. Rock Star Beer Festivals is organizing a series of events dedicated to consuming our favorite alcoholic beverages in an environment designed to look like the world of Harry Potter. Venues will be decorated like the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts’ Great Hall. Each location will serve alcoholic butterbeer as well as more than 20 different winter, pumpkin, and holiday ales. Naturally, there will be plenty of photo ops so all of your Instagram followers can be made sufficiently jealous.
