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 Horizonsas 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.
