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.

I wasn't able to get enough tokens for brewfest because, as it turns out I was out of town for around half the time Brewfest was up :(

this year i got to vote for the option that i would have wanted last year! i got both the mounts (we also have 4 rams and 2 kodos drop) got the trinkets, both the beer chics, and we had 2 tankards drops which my dude wanted really bad so that was awesome.
i got the kodo on my birthday, and everyone was kind enough to pass on it because it was my birthday so yay!
last year i ran him everyday, didn't do any summons unless i had a full group of 5 that could do it and got only the trinkets and brew chics.
so glad this year was better!
sorry to those that didn't get what they wanted :(
congrats to those that did! :)

I got both the Ram and the Kodo in the same drop, I won both. Fucking Lucky I am.

Short answer: No.
For some reason I didn't get the memo on the Brewfest Regalia until *after* I burned through 300 tokens on the first two items. Woops!
Lesson learned, although I did manage to get the Elekk and the goggles this year, and got lucky with a drop for Direbrew and won the (stupid) Alliance ram mount.

Didn't meet all the goals I had on my main server, but I'm in the screenshot Robin posted, that's nice, and got a couple of the easy achievements on both servers where I did Brewfest stuff.
Main server, got wolpertinger, remote, and kodo all last year, this year got both stam trinkets and a shanker (RP if I ever with him) on main druid (trinkets were dropping in stupid amounts), hit trinket for DK alt, helped guildies get tankards and kodos. We didn't see a single ram this year. No big.
Brewfest and Hallow's Eve I like, the rest are tolerable, and Valentine's Day I hate. lol
Rob Oct 6th 2009 10:55AM
On my main, i got all the suckey trinkets, then the kodo dropped, and I thought, no way I am going to grind this holiday out every day. So I stopped. Until last night, when I decided I had to have the pink elephant and wolf-whatever on all my toons. So after a mad flurry of activity I got everything except my last toon missed on the elephant by a few minutes. So otherwise...Yeah i'm happy. And a second mount dropped (a kodo....for my tauran - ew). 2 mounts, 6 wolf-whatever pets, 5 elephants... Yeah it was good, and i didnt feel like I just had to grind for the title and miss out on a bunch of RL stuff.

I was pretty lucky. I got Brewmaster and all the gear I wanted. I even got the remote. I didn't get a mount because I won the roll and passed it to my husband. He will enjoy it much more than I ever will.
Malfural Oct 6th 2009 11:12AM
I never got round to killing Coren, but I got all the other achievements and the stuff I wanted from the vendor. I wasn't fussed about the gear that Coren drops, so I guess that still counts as option number 2 (a Kodo would have been cool, but I probably wouldn't have used it).

Other: I was happy with the free booze while it lasted.
Jugulator Oct 6th 2009 11:37AM
I was having terrible luck winning anything on my main in the beginning, however I won the kodo and the remote on my alt. I eventually won the remote on my main as well, but I was pretty disappointed that I was losing everything else. But in the last 2 days of Brewfest, I won 2 tankards and the ram. Got Brewmaster on both of my 80s as well. I'm satisfied.
Lemons Oct 6th 2009 11:39AM
I saw 5 mounts drop and I didn't win a single one. It's not a big deal though, because I wouldn't have ridden it anyways.
Brewmaster did get me Long Strange Trip tho...now I never have to participate in another in-game holiday ever again if I don't want to! Woohoo!
Skippy Oct 6th 2009 12:01PM
I was level 74 when Brewfest started, and my goal was to hit 80 before it ended and get a the DPS trinket for my Cat Druid. Well, I made it on Sunday (a whole 2 days to spare!) and managed to pick up my Coaster and now am ready to start to gear up.
Yeechang Lee Oct 6th 2009 12:40PM
There was no need to hit 80. As soon as my druid hit 75 she began running Brewfest and helping to summon the boss, and quickly got stocked up on all six trinkets for use when she turns 80.
No mount, but that's not a big deal. I'll roll for a random-drop mount if it drops but if it doesn't, or I don't win, I don't mind. Once again we non mount-crazed players get to laugh at and mock the numerous mount fanatics (not just Brewfest but all so-called "rare" mounts), the way so many commenters here are.
Crish Oct 6th 2009 12:09PM
I enjoyed the achievement ( worked hard and got Brewmaster)
however, found the mount thing a bit stupid :(
Love mounts and after seeing both drop ( 3 rams and 1 kodo) , loosing the rolls really kinda ruined the whole holiday experience :|
I agree with the drop rates, but seeing the mounts taken by soebody else after all the hard work is just dumb :( they should let everyone who helped down coren loo the mounts when they drop
nekorion Oct 6th 2009 1:04PM
I'm so upset. I started brewfest at lv60. I wanted to become a brewmaster but no one would help me kill direbrew for my achievement. I grinded and grinded but in the end, I only hit lv75, and coren lays unslain, taunting me :(
Sansarya Oct 6th 2009 12:23PM
Got Brewmaster, a tankard (my husband passed it to me after I lost the roll again), an egg, a shanker, and the pink elekk. No remote. Didn't see the mount drop even once. In our guild I'm always the one who rolls a "1", so no surprises about losing most of the rolls. Would have been nice to see a guildie get a mount though.
Tirrimas Oct 6th 2009 12:23PM
Got Brewmaster on my hunter and my mage, made good progress on it for my druid (she's only lvl 35).
Would have loved to get a trinket for the mage, but my hunter got both brewmaidens, the shanker and a coaster. Never saw mounts nor remotes drop on my runs, but a guildie's run saw three mounts in five kills. RNG is RNG.
Was really tired of it all by the time it ended.

I started brewfest late this year but I earned the nickname 'lucky cow' cause either the mount or tankard dropped for me everytime I went. After seeing at least 8 tankards and a combination of 6 mounts drop (5 rams and 1 kodo) did I get two tankards and a kodo on the last day of brewfest. I would have preferred getting a ram seeing as how I'm a Tauren in game but I'll take the kodo after coming in second for 4 out of the 5 rolls for ram. Got my title on two characters as well so it was a good holiday for me.

I saw several mounts drop, mostly on my main but I also ran a few separate groups with my DK. Lost every roll, including a 91 losing to a 100. That hurt. For my main, I wanted both for two more towards getting a dragonhawk, but would've been happy just getting the ram as he's a dwarf and it's fitting. Same with the DK; I did get Brewmaster on both, and bought a couple tankards for the DK (wish I had waited a bit, as the price fell a lot in the final week).
Final day, my main won a Tankard roll, so that'll be saved for my shaman (whether I level up the draenei one or roll a dwarf one in 4.0). Neither toon saw a mount drop in the final few days. All the trinkets you could want, though! 75% of the final day's kills yielded Brewmaiden trinkets. Saw a lot more mounts than remotes this year, too; main got his last year. I got both pets across a few toons, including bank alt. Next year, not too much for my main to do but try...again...for mounts.
