Celebrated by both the Horde and the Alliance, the Brewfest is a time to enjoy the fermented fruits of the harvest: pretzels, cheese, and booze! The competing breweries Thunderbrew, Barleybrew, and the Ogres, all come together outside of all the major cities in a bid to outdo each other with their special ales, meads, and beers. Brave adventurers are invited to sit back, take a pull, and sample the finest wares these brewers have to offer!
Features
Type: Brewfest
Date: 2-16 October
Location: Main Event: Orgrimmar and Ironforge. Beer gardens will also be set up outside of Silvermoon City, Darnassus, Undercity, Stormwind, Thunder Bluff, the Exodar, and Shattrath.
Enjoying the Brew
Complimentary mugs filled with fresh, foamy beer sit atop tables outside of all the major cities. If you drink one down while standing near one of the brewers’ stands outside of Ironforge or Orgrimmar, one of their assistants will toss you a new mug. You can also fill up your empties at any of the kegs sitting near the brewers’ stands. At Brewfest, you’ll never have to worry about how you’ll quench your thrist!
Things To Do
Brewfest is about more than just sampling fine ales from all over Azeroth and Outland. Read on to find out what mighty deeds you can do while quenching your thirst:
Ram Racing
Adventurers can show their ram-riding skills by speaking with Neill Ramstein or Ram Master Ray. Before they’ll trust you with their precious rams, though, you’ll need to prove you can control one! Once you’ve proven your expertise at handling the rams, you can earn some Brewfest Prize Tickets by picking up some kegs of brew from Kharanos or Razor Hill and bringing them back to the fest.
Barkers Wanted
The representatives of some of the major breweries want adventurers to help out by advertizing their brews in Orgrimmar and Ironforge; just speak to one of the brewers for Barleybrew or Thunderbrew outside of Ironforge or T’chali’s Voodoo Brewery or Drohn’s Distillery outside of Orgrimmar to get started. You’ll be given a ram to hurry you on your way, spreading the word around Orgrimmar or Ironforge about who has the best brew.
Mystery Hunts
For those who enjoy a good mystery hunt, Goldark Snipehunter and Glodrak Huntsniper have some tasks involving wolpertingers and pink elekks they’d like you to perform for them. Just a fair warning: you may need to keep a wee dram of hair of the dog ready for the morning after!
Defend the Fest
From time to time, the envious Dark Iron dwarves will launch a sneaky invasion of the festivities. Determined drinkers must rally to protect the ale and to give the Dark Irons a sound thrashing lest they make off with the booze.
