ButterBEER must have beer as an ingredient! It must also have an low 
alcohol content for canon to make sense, maybe 2%.

In medieval times BUTTERED ALE was a popular drink. Ale (beer brewed 
without any hops) was heated together with with butter, cinnamon, and 
sugar. I think this is basically what Butterbeer is.
