Brewfest was over. It was fun. It was extended. But now it's gone.
I was able to get my Brewmaster title this year and caught it on video. I also enjoyed a couple of events with the It came from the Blog guild. Because we had Achievements this year, I find that the event was more fun than previously. But now I must admit that I'm Brewfested out.
Were you able to accomplish all of your Brewfest goals? Did Coren give you the gear you wanted? Answer our poll below and then tell us your goals and challenges in the comments.

Got Brewmaster, but didn't even try for a mount. I'm saving all my lootluck for a Sinister Squashling. I WILL have my protodrake.

It couldn't been any better, and I'm with some trepidation waiting for the surge of bad luck that simply -has- to follow me after last week. Why? Because not only did I get the remote and all the trinkets I wanted - both brewfest mounts dropped as well. And I won both rolls. Oh, and that Direbrews Shanker I wanted for RP? Got that too.
I'm not sure if I should be dancing around in glee, or cowering in fear waiting for the payback for all this insane luck...

Yeah, mostly fun for my Rogue...looks really cool when a Troll is hunched over with the Tankards out.

I was irritated that you could buy the gear and then sell it back for the brew of the month club stuff. i don't know if i am more irritated that i did not hear about it before buying the brew of the month thinking i had to drink 1 per month for a year to get the achievement or that i did not do more research before buying what i needed...

I got my Brewfest title (no drake yet, damn you sinister squash!). I had the ram from last year but up until the last day had not been able to win a kodo. By that time it was getting depressing because everyday I would run it 2-4 guildies and they all knew how badly I wanted to get that kodo. Yesterday being the last day of brewfest I was able to get 4 guildies together all with 2-3 alts each to put in as many attempts as possible. I think we were on the 7th or 8th summon and the kodo dropped. I ended up outrolling a pug lock as well as the 3 of my guildmates... who were also rolling need to try and win me the kodo.
A big shout out That's a Negative of Boulderfist! Thanks guys ;-)

I got the title on my druid, and the remote, which I really wanted. The trinkets aren't as good as what I've got from raids for balance and resto, but I set aside the tanking and melee dps trinkets for the feral set in my bank.
The remote will be cool. Sooner or later I want to get exalted with the Hydraxian Waterlords, and having a shortcut to the bar will help.
I saw a kodo drop once or twice, but never won the rolls. I already had the ram from last year, though, so I guess I can't complain.
Tott Oct 6th 2009 9:30AM
I got my violet proto-drake! that was the main one for me, got it about an hour after brewfest started because i had most of it all done from the year before.
a few days later was in a coren group with my girlfreind when the kodo dropped, my gf won the roll, then it dropped again and i won it! i got a good trinket for my bear tank, a nice one for boomkin and another nice one for cat form! had fun on the boss and ram racing. have to say i enjoyed this holiday a lot! :D
also beat my personal best of 36 tokens from ram racing, 40 tokens in one go and im sure its impossible to get higher! 8D

I voted "I am Brewmaster, but nothing good dropped for me." but that's not entirely accurate... I did get four BOE mace mugs (2 sold, 2 saving, for my dwarf-shammy-to-be). And remotes on my 2 80s. My undergeared DK got all of the useful trinkets.
But I was 0-5 on mount rolls, including a Ram drop on the very last Coren pull of the season. Alas, perhaps I'll luck out on a Headless horse.
thebl4ckd0g Oct 6th 2009 9:36AM
Another brewfest goes by, still no Brewfest Ram or Brewfest Kodo. Seen other people in the guild getting it dropping for everybody in their 5 man. I've been outrolled on it 3 times in 3 separate groups. :*(
Tinious Oct 6th 2009 9:35AM
I was horribly disappointed that the Beer Gardens in Dalaran wasn't used *at all* during brewfest. When I first say those gardens after wotlk came out I though "oh cool, something new and interesting for brewfest". Nope. Same. Old. Tired. Thing.
Keveline Oct 6th 2009 9:39AM
I got a few of the achievements and some nice trinkets but not the title. And no mount. In fact I don't know anyone who the mount dropped for. Overall I'm happy with it though. My fault I'm not Brewmaster.
Zerbe Oct 6th 2009 9:39AM
I got all the trinkets, the Tankard, the Dagger(but cant use it), but no mounts or remote. Only saw the mount drop once and didnt win it and never saw the remote. I ran it pretty much everyday except 2-3 days.
Piper Oct 6th 2009 9:39AM
I couldn't even be bothered to try for the mounts on my DK - I already have them on my paladin, along with the 40 mount achievement, and I think they look silly. I did get the chromium coaster for her, along with the Brewmaster title, so it looks like I'll be good for trying to get the 'What a Long Strange Trip It's Been.'
Cameron Oct 6th 2009 9:41AM
Two years of Brewfest, three characters slapping around Coren every day, and still not a single mount.
Brewa Oct 6th 2009 9:51AM
I got a lot of what I wanted but not everything. I missed out on the mounts. But I did get a Tankard o' Terror. I still chose the first option though, because it seemed the closest.
analogkid Oct 6th 2009 9:51AM
I was able to get the Brewfest title on my main character, the kodo on both my main and alt, and the stam trinket on my alt. The only thing I didn't get was the remote, not a big deal imo.
slyman.is.god Oct 6th 2009 9:52AM
I don't know what happened.. guess we didn't have time, my girlfriend and I. We do everything together, so if one wasn't around to get the brewfest achievements, we didn't get 'em. So we went everyday to get the trinkets and maybe a mount, but we didn't even get the chance to go outside IF and try anything. So I really have no idea what you do in this event. I'll have to do it next year. I won't miss halloween though!!
Mynsc Oct 6th 2009 9:55AM
I got Brewmaster, I got the Kodo, I got the Ram, I got the Remote, also 3 trinkets and 2 Tankards. Can't complain. :D
Magnion Oct 6th 2009 9:55AM
I got my Brewmaster achievement, all the trinkets I wanted, 1 Tankard O' Terror, and the Swift Brewfest Ram. Wish i could have gotten another Tankard O' Terror and the Great Brewfest Kodo, but im not complaining. However, after this holiday I dont want to see another trinket for a wile. Those things were droping left and right.
Aubrecia Oct 6th 2009 9:56AM
Well, stuff DID drop for me, I guess -- the Stamina trinkets which I used to up my pretty-terrible tanking set, and the remote. But the thing I was really going for, either of the mounts, never dropped!
Next year, Direbrew! NEXT YEAR, YOUR RAM WILL BE MINE.
