A lucky Animal Crossing fan had an unexpected real-life encounter with the series' beloved café owner Brewster. The coffee-loving pigeon was first introduced in 2005's Animal Crossing: Wild World, and since then he has become a staple of the social simulation series. While he was not included at launch, an Animal Crossing: New Horizons update added Brewster alongside his Roost café in November 2021.
Since their introduction in Animal Crossing: Wild World, Brewster and The Roost have received an ever-expanding role in Nintendo's wholesome series. Originally, players were able to visit the café to buy coffee and occasionally hear live music from the famous K.K. Slider. The Roost was made into an even more active social space in 2008's Animal Crossing: City Folk, which saw Villagers drop by for their own morning fuel, and New Leaf later allowed player to work at The Roost part-time. The importance of Brewster and his coffee led to frustration when he failed to appear in the series' newest installment, but Brewster joined Animal Crossing: New Horizons as part of the title's acclaimed 2.0 Update.
Reddit user bonbonribbons recently ran into Brewster at a real-life Starbucks coffee shop. The adorable illustration, no doubt drawn by one of the shop's talented baristas, sees the recognizable coffee connoisseur prepared to serve customers a hot cup of joe. A speech bubble is even drawn next to Brewster, which explains that a cup of coffee costs 200 Bells. While Starbucks is unlikely to really accept the Animal Crossing series' fictional currency, the illustration serves as a wonderful tribute to the beloved avian café keeper.

Animal Crossing fans and coffee drinkers alike are fond of Brewster, leading to the creation of many fan-made tributes in the character's honor. For example, an Animal Crossing fan's Brewster crochet lets the friendly feathered Villager sit inside an actual coffee mug. The adorable crochet perfectly captures the bird's spectacled eyes and green coloration, with the creation even making Brewster resemble one of Animal Crossing's decorative musical Gyroids. Brewster is known for providing Gyroids to loyal customers, making the similarity particularly ironic.
Whether he's found within Animal Crossing or in the real world, Brewster serves as a hero to dedicated coffee drinkers everywhere. The Starbucks visited by bonbonribbons has beautifully demonstrated this reverence through their exceptional drawing of The Roost's beloved owner. While 200 Bells for one cup of coffee seems steep, Brewster's brew is sure to invigorate any who drink it.
