What does Buttery Beer taste like?
Buttery Beer is pure nostalgia on the Swig Dirty Soda Menu. Root beer’s sassafras-vanilla depth meets butterscotch syrup’s buttery caramel, and vanilla creme turns it into something that genuinely evokes the famous wizarding drink — warm-tasting, creamy, and sweet in the coziest way. It is the dessert drink for people who do not even like dessert drinks.
What’s inside Buttery Beer?
The build is Root Beer + Butterscotch + Vanilla Creme. Root beer already has vanilla and wintergreen notes; butterscotch amplifies the caramel side, and vanilla creme (richer than plain cream) pushes it into float territory. Three ingredients, zero fruit, all comfort.
Buttery Beer price and calories
We last saw Buttery Beer listed at $2.85, though prices change by city and cup size. The published calorie range is 140 – 490 cal. The vanilla creme is the calorie driver here — light creme is the easiest way to trim it without losing the butterscotch character.
How to order Buttery Beer like a regular
Order by name — it is a cult favorite. Extra butterscotch makes it richer; light vanilla creme keeps it drinkable in larger sizes. If this cozy profile is yours, Happy Camper (toasted marshmallow root beer) is the must-try sibling, and Cherry Bomb is the fruitier alternative.
