There has been so much buzz regarding the brewfest on the internet. All the blogs are talking about it. Most of the forum members are rejoicing. But what is Brewfest all about?

Brewfest is a beer festival organised by World of Warcraft. In their words, “Celebrated by both the Horde and the Alliance, the Brewfest is a time to enjoy the fruits of the harvest: pretzels, cheese, and brew! 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!”

This Brewfest reminds me of the Beer Festival organized in Germany and it looks so much fun. Beer everywhere and people enjoying their day getting drunk. WoW is trying to do something of this sort. This Brewfest beer festival starts on the 20th of September through 4th October.

The main Brewfest festivals are located near Orgrimmar and Ironforge. There will also be beer gardens set up outside of Silvermoon City, Darnassus, Undercity, Stormwind , Thunder Bluff, the Exodar and Shattrath.

The Brewfest is all about drinking as much beer as you can and not having to worry about any of it. There’ll be free, foamy beer provided to everyone outside Orgrimmar and Ironforge.

Activity to do in Brewfest

Brewfest is not just about quenching your thirst for beer but also to show the whole world (World of Warcraft only, though!) what a mighty adventurer you are! And so there are a lot of adventures for you to show off your skills.

Ram Racing

You can attempt to race a Ram by speaking to Ram Master Ray or Neill Ramstein but they’ll only give you a Ram once you prove your skills to control one. Once you’ve proven your skills to control the Ram you can earn Brewfest prize Tokens by picking up beer kegs from Kharanos or Razor Hill and bringing them back to the fest – as part of the adventure.

Brew of the Month Club

This reminds me of those expensive beer clubs that supply you with an exclusive bottle of beer all the year every month. Same goes for Brewfest Brew of the Month Club.
For 200 Brewfest tokens you too can enjoy the exclusive Brew of the Month Club for 1 year.

Defend the Fest

You’re a hero, ain’t you? And so there’s something more than just drinking free beer and racing Rams. You’ve got to save the day for everyone in World of Warcraft by defending the attacks of The Dark Iron Clan dwarves that raid the free beer tables every half hour.

Ticket Exchange

This year WoW has implemented the Token system instead of the previous Ticketing system. If you’ve got tickets from the last year, its the best time to exchange them for tokens.

Ceremonial Keg-Tapping

Each day at 6.15 both AM and PM server time, High Tinker Mekkatorque (Ironforge) and Vol’jin (Orgrimmar) come out to the Brewfest grounds for a brief Tapping of the Keg ceremony. And just by witnessing the ceremony you can increase your experience by 10%. Great.

Brewfest Token Prizes

Lastly there a lot of cool prizes up for grabs for your tokens. Check the image below for the prizes.
