This article is about the alcoholic beverages in The Witcher. For the ones in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, see The Witcher 3 food and drink. |
In The Witcher, alcoholic beverages are a subset of alcohol that varies between weak and medium strength and can not be used as potion bases; they are strictly for Geralt's drinking pleasure, to be used as gifts, or are quest requirements.
Beer[]
Beer is the weakest and also the least expensive of the alcoholic beverages available in The Witcher. It comes in five varieties.
