March's Brew of the Month: Aromatic Honey Brew

It's brews like the Aromatic Honey Brew that make the whole Brew of the Month membership worth it. Sure, all of the bodily fluid/fume brews are pretty boring, but this month's brew? Beautiful. I can finally fulfill my lifelong dream: Get drunk while on fire and covered in bees. Alternate caption for the image above? I like my ale like I like my women. Covered in bees.
I'm sure those of you that haven't tried this month's brew are pretty confused right now. What the hell am I talking about? Well, every Brew of the Month has a proc that goes off now and then when you're chugging down the booze. This month, the proc is a buff called Honey Touched. The sweet, sticky honey in the brew gets all over you, and you attract some friends. Horrible, stingy friends. Friends that put you under a Fear effect for 7 seconds. I think this rivals BigRedPriestess as my favorite Brew of the Month. If I'm gonna get wasted, I might as well do it in style. Mead and bees. Bees are stylish, right?
As an extra little note, the fact that there's a new brew out means that it's the beginning of the month. If you're the sort of person that will take all the freebies you can get, you can pick up your free gems from the Consortium in Nagrand. They're Burning Crusade gems, but maybe you'll find some use for them.

No silly,
They migrated back to the planet they originally came from.

Interesting trick with these: You can use the self-fear to get yourself into areas you're not supposed to, like Old Ironforge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRTj8pJ8WGA

If you look closely at where my screenshot was taken... ;)

I'd love to go there, but doesn't Blizzard frown on people getting down there?
MechChef Mar 2nd 2009 6:00PM
I don't recognize it. Is it Old IF? I'm exclusively Horde, so it's not somewhere I've ever tried to go.

Dammit MechChef! Did you have to tell it!? Now it's gonna get nerfed in like a few sec.. anyway, as soon as this effect proccd on me this crossed my mind :Dt i've allready got out of tons of instanced places and into a ton of uninstanced instances xD Now i just need to check one more thing before this gets nerfed... Also for the guy who asked: yes, that is old IF. You can also get in there by getting polymorphed :>

Skizzit Mar 2nd 2009 5:29PM
You have no idea how many times I use that Eddie Izzard quote and no one gets it.
Well played good sir. Well played.

So, how do you join the brew of the Month Club?
Why? Beeecause I like beeeer, lol.
Lorsty Mar 2nd 2009 5:14PM
You buy membership with 200 tickets during the Brewfest.
Jesity Mar 2nd 2009 5:18PM
Omg, I have to wait until Sept 20th?
Life is too cruel:)
Thanks for the info!
Zuldim Mar 2nd 2009 5:19PM
No, you have to wait until march 1st.
2010.
(For this one at least.)
Kite Mar 2nd 2009 5:25PM
Ok how many should we have had by now? I have 5. I think I might have missed one somehow. I wonder if I can petition blizzard to send me the one i missed. I thought I could go buy them but it is only the current brew being offered.
I hope I don't have to rejoin the brew of the month club and then wait until that month rolls around again in order to get my drake.

You should have:
January - Wild Winter Pilsner
February - Izzard's Ever Flavor
March - Aromatic Honey Brew
September - Binary Brew
October - Autumnal Acorn Ale
November - Bartlett's Bitter Brew
December - Lord of Frost's Private Label
The only repeat you can have, I think, is Binary Brew. I asked on the official boards this week and they said that BB will be repeated. Perhaps the Autumnal Acorn Ale too, but we'll find out.
CaffeineRage Mar 2nd 2009 8:34PM
October's Autumnal Acorn Ale was bugged, where it didn't always give credit. If you are missing one, then odds are that is it. My mage doesn't have credit for it, even though I know he drank the free sample but, my Shaman does have credit.
You should have 6 now, unless you were able to quickly drink your binary brew early Oct 14th. Then, it would be 7.
Phanteom Mar 2nd 2009 5:27PM
Can't wait for Sept 20th:)
tonedeff Mar 2nd 2009 5:29PM
Another brew down and one step closer to my new drake :D
