Beer

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Beer, when drunk, heals one Hitpoint and temporarily increases the player's Strength by 4%, however it also decreases the player's Attack temporarily by 7%. Players can buy beer in Bars, or obtain it from monster drops.

The positive strength effect is not affected by the number of beers that the character has drunken, but the negative effect on attack is (multiply the base negative effect by the number of beers taken).

Beer can be used to make money (albeit, a strange way). Players can buy a beer, drink it, and sell the empty glasses on the Grand Exchange for a profit of 30 coins.

Miscellaneous:

  • Players will also get an empty Beer glass after the beer is drunk.
  • At one time using an empty beer glass on barrels with a small spout yielded in the beer glass being filled again. This however does not work in the Barbarian Village where if you tried this you would get attacked, this is because they are protective of their beer, though in the past it as possible to obtain beer from the barrels there. If you try doing the same with the taps in most bars you will get a funny message. Some beer barrels will still give beer, such as the one in the small warehouse in Draynor Village and on the first floor of the Windmill in Hemenster.
  • Players cannot brew regular beer.
  • Beer is a common drop by Hill giants and is sometimes used for its healing properties by players fighting the giants. Players using melee often disdain it, as its negative effect on attack is larger and lasts much longer than its positive effect on strength. Many players using ranged or magic, however, use the beer to heal, since it does not affect those skills.
  • Beers also may be obtained for 2 coins from the "Blue Moon Inn" in Varrock. Speak to the bartender.
  • Arnold Lydspor in the Piscatoris Fishing Colony stocks 10 beers at 2gp each.
