Listen to Mr. Fox (George Clooney) from this popular 2009 stop-motion film by Wes Anderson animated Comedy film, tell it, Bean’s Alcoholic Cider might just be the greatest thing man has ever made. He says: ‘This is one of the strongest and best alcoholic ciders money can buy – or even steal. It burns your throat, roils your stomach. It tastes almost exactly like pure, molten gold.’ Sounds pretty tempting. That is, if we’re still standing there after a few samples.

Brockman’s has actually been a fairly popular fake beer brand for several years. A member of the fictional Bilson Brewing Company family, Brockman is described as a “premium dark lager” and has appeared on popular television shows such as angel (1999-2004), Lie to me (2009-11), It’s always sunny in Philadelphia (2005-present) and the Matt Damon film Undefeated (2009). If there’s a beer on this list that might be worth trying in real life, Brockman would get our vote.

Butterbeer (Harry Potter franchise)

Butterbeer ("Harry Potter" Franchise)

Well, in the area of Harry Potter As seen in The Last Jedi film series, the effects of butterbeer vary depending on who is actually drinking this popular beverage. It has been known to knock house elves on their backsides if too much is consumed. However, it seems to have little to no effect on witches and wizards. Harry and his friends, on the other hand, seem to enjoy it without causing any real harm. Of course, the big question with JK Rowling’s version of butterbeer is what it actually tastes like. Butterscotch seems to be a popular answer.

Duff Beer (“The Simpsons”)

Duff Beer ("The Simpsons")

One could argue that Duff is the most famous fictional beer. And why not? Homer and his friends seem to love the stuff more than life itself. Duff also seems to pair well with Homer’s favorite treat: doughnuts. Fans of Duff in Springfield and beyond should head to Duff Gardens, a parody of the Disneyland/Busch Gardens theme park in the series. Try the “beer goggles” for an authentic drinking experience. And now back to reality. Duff started out as a fictional beer, but its recognizable label was slapped on real beer bottles and cans without proper approval, which has led to numerous legal battles.

If we talk about the strongest drink on this list, we would probably choose the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, developed by former Galaxy President Zaphod Beeblebrox. According to the guide, the effects of this drink are like “Your brain will be smashed with a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold bar.” In real life, fans of this cult classic of television, film and literature have developed their own recipes to mimic this concoction that Beeblebrox warned consumers about. “Never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a thirty-ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia.”

In the spirit of Duff, which has created a rivalry between the two popular cartoon beers (which we’re told may actually be the same product), Pawtucket Patriot is proudly brewed in Quahog, RI. It’s Peter Griffin’s favorite beer and he even works at the brewery, which turns out to be not good for everyone involved, but highly entertaining. In many ways, Pawtucket Patriot beer is like another Family man character. He had a lot of screen time and a lot of plot points.

“If you’re very thirsty and you’re gay, grab a cold, big bottle of Schmitt’s Gay.” This slogan actually says everything about this classic SNL Sketch featuring house-sitting buddies (brilliantly played by Chris Farley and Adam Sandler) who find themselves in a man-only paradise. In the original version of the sketch, “Beautiful Girls” by Van Halen plays in the background, and although it doesn’t really fit with the theme of the piece, it still adds to the overall comedy.

When Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) ran the Snake Hole Lounge, Snake Juice, presumably a pre-packaged version of an energy drink with alcohol, was the crowning glory of his drink menu. Think of it as Red Bull and vodka taken to the next level. It was so strong that even stoic protégé Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) got drunk. Not to mention, Snake Juice got Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) so drunk that they got through their first fight as friends. Donna Meagle (Retta), a co-worker at the park, described the drink as “rat poison.” And the hangover the next day? Well, let’s not get into that.
