Brewfest information from Blizzard
While our own Dan O'Halloran has given us a sneak peak at this new holiday as it exists on the test realm, and now Blizzard jumped in and provide us with an overview of the holiday. Blizzard tells us that this event, celebrated by Alliance and Horde alike, is a time in which the World of Warcraft's three competing breweries show off their wares in front of the major cities. Everyone will be able enjoy plenty of booze as well as ram racing (remember, everyone, don't drink and ride!), mystery hunts, and even fighting off Dark Iron Dwarves. You get tickets for participating in events and turn them in for fabulous prizes. Brewfest officially scheduled to begin on October 2nd and run through October 16th, so we can expect the 2.2.2 holiday mini-patch to hit the live realms soon.

Just FYI: "Mudder's Milk", one of the drinks available during the event, is a throwback to Firefly, the episode Jaynestown specifically.

My question is how can they have a beer related event in WoW without Stormstout even being mentioned. Pfft...Blizzard is getting so uncreative.

Pffft. Don't drink and ride is for sissies. I can crash my epic ram just as easily WITHOUT booze as I can WITH booze. Just ask anyone in my guild. The good thing is, I'll know where everyone is when I need something.

It also has a bunch of sweet polka music.
/script PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Music\\ZoneMusic\\BrewFest\\BF_Goblins1.mp3")
Type that in-game to hear some of it.

That music rules all.
I am so looking forward to this event. It's something unique - I can't imagine Lord of the Bore doing something like this, or what Warhammer's going to do that's as engaging.
I'm very happy WoW isn't resting on it's laurels for events like this. New content and new events keep people playing.
On top of everything, the Brewfest festival outfit looks awesome.
