There are a lot of benefits to being associated with a castle. The most obvious, of course, being a place of safety in the coming zombie apocalypse. Those zombies won’t be snacking on Meeple brains anytime soon!

Somewhat less obvious is the fact that Ravenwood Castle hosts a lot of really cool events and activities. Sometimes we here at the Meeple get to take advantage of that, and share some of that geeky goodness with you, our guests.

This coming weekend our friends at Ravenwood will be adventuring in the wizarding world, and hopefully solving the mystery of the Haunting in Hogsmeade. And what trip to Hogsmeade would be complete without Butter Beer!?

One of our intrepid innkeepers has put her own spin on this four hundred year old beverage, and will be debuting it for the Ravenwood Detective Agency guests this weekend.

We’ve convinced her to share the recipe with us, and are thrilled to be able to offer Butter Beer here at the Meeple!

The first shipment of the magical ingredients arrives soon, and we will begin pouring this frothy treat Sunday, February 7th!

So take a break from the big sportsball game and stop in for a mug of geeky goodness. This Sunday only Butter Beer will be Buy One, Get One Free, so bring your friends, wizard or muggle alike!
