Far Field Beer Company Hosts Annual Harry Potter–Themed Beer Event in Lawndale
Lawndale, Calif. — Harry Potter fans and craft beer lovers gathered at Far Field Beer Company in Lawndale for the brewery’s annual Harry Potter–themed celebration, held Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6.
Notably, the brewery showcased Harry Potter–inspired items, including large brown witch hats hanging from the ceiling and near the beer machines. Additionally, there were themed balloons on tables, a Harry Potter–decorated Christmas tree, as well as a “Team Gryffindor” sign displayed outside.
Presence News reporter Maria Cornejo sampled one of the most popular drinks on the menu, Butter Beer. The drink showcased a cinnamon flavor and was made without alcohol for guests who prefer non-alcoholic options. Although made from real beer ingredients, brewers stripped away the alcohol, giving it a smooth, slightly sour taste. The Butter Beer was served fresh from the tap.
