'''Witch's Brew''' is a phrase that [[Homestar Runner]] says a lot—a habit begun by [[Strong Bad]] when he [[Pumpkin Carve-nival Costumes|dressed up as Homestar]] for [[Halloween]].

Witch's Brew is "cold-hot-fresh," according to Homestar, who has sold jars of it for $10 each. Side effects of Witch's Brew include wine, women, and song. It is potable—[[The Cheat]] drank a bottle from Homestar in an attempt to cure his [[hiccup|hiccups]], which did not cease.
