In adaptations[]
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug[]
In TA 2940, when Thorin Oakenshield came to Bree to stay at the Inn of the Prancing Pony after failing to find his father Thráin in Dunland, Albert went out of a pub looking drunk, and ate the tip of a carrot before he departed.
The Fellowship of the Ring[]
Many years later in TA 3018, when Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, and Meriadoc Brandybuck went to visit the inn to meet with Gandalf, Albert appeared once again eating a carrot and belched as they went past him.
Trivia[]
When Peter Jackson was playing Albert in The Fellowship of the Ring he originally was smoking a pipe. However after a few takes he felt sick of the smoke, and so instead used a carrot. He did the same in his next appearance.
Albert Dreary was portrayed by Jackson in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. His name was identified at the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and in the Middle-earth Role Playing card game.
