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.

I came back last tuesday and managed to get Brewmaster and the Ram mount

I got the brewfest title and I had the ram from last year.
I also found out that I had to renew my brew of the month club later on in Brewfest and managed to fix that before it was too late.
All I really did was get a couple trinkets, finish my minimal achievements to get Brewmaster (I did all the work last year, and I have every extra item already including the keg and the goggles), get the pink elekk, and renewed my brew of the month membership. That's about it.. I was pretty content with this year even though I lost a roll on the direbrew remote.

Got 1 of each item, (including mounts) on my main...we even had a double mount drop on 2 of my alts. kills and brewmasters for 3 of them... all in all a good week.

Got a Kodo Mount on my alliance Shammy, and it fits her perfectly, and is my new main ground mount. Also got her every trinket she could use plus the two summoning trinkets, for kicks and for some HP buffing in PvP (plus pulling out a Fire elemental, 2 wolves, and two maidens all at once will be intimidating when holding a flag). I also was able to finally win a Tankard-o-Terror. One dropped on a run and I lost the roll, but luckily a second dropped, and I convinced everyone to let me have it because it was an actual upgrade (thanks to my pug friends BTW). I went ahead and bought the second one, which both BTW look awesome enchanted with Berserker. And of course I got the Brewmaster title (only 4 more holidays for my 310% mount). I am interested most of all in the Brew of The Month Club, after reading about some of the brews here on wow.com.
Basically I got everything I wanted and then some. Never expected to find a Kodo at all and least of all win the roll. I was aiming to upgrade my weapons and get the title. Overall it was a good Holiday. Can't wait for Halloween!

Like all before me who didn't get everything, I failed to get a mount (though I rolled on >9< rams and >2< kodos, eff me!), and failed to get the tankard, but I did manage to get one of each trinket, the brewmaster clothes, and the jackelope, but I fell 105 tokens short of the brew of the month club, and I would of loved the pink elephant or portable keg.
I'm upset I have to do more shit next year to finish up this event and get the proto drake. Maybe i'll get a 310% mount some other way, but I doubt it (casual player).
Sarakin Oct 6th 2009 3:14PM
i got the ram on my first coren kill and since i didn't bother farming nothing else good. Was really hoping for some tankards or something.
Got my brewmaster on the last day it was a close call

We took bets on how MANY times that [insert expletive] pocket watch would drop when we did a run cycling guild members through. Quite a number got the remote which made it easy to do an evening of runs. (The big question now is, will the remote work without a boss?) The Coaster dropped for everyone who wanted it. The Charms were second most annoying drops, but that was fine as a number of people wanted those.
My guild saw 2 kodos and 2 rams drop which is 4x the number of mounts that dropped for the entire guild last year.
I have a lot of trouble with motion sickness and doing things drunk. It took me three hours to do the pink elekk quest because I couldn't figure out how to turn down the blur effect on my computer enough to move, so I would have to run to a location, get drunk, see the elekks and then sit until the drunk wore off before moving again. Forget riding the rams drunk. I did amass enough tickets to get the pet and I'm very happy with that. I wish there was a way those of us who can't do the drunken quests could earn enough tickets to have a shot at the title. The violet proto-drakes are a nice color. I'm not real fond of the proto-drake look so not having one doesn't bother me. I would kind of like the title but I have a few other rare ones so I'm not all that upset I didn't get "Brewmaster".

I managed to snag both mounts and two Tankards o' Terror. I'm a happy shammy.
I think the only thing in Direbrew's loot table I didn't get at some point was the remote.
VioletPheonix Oct 6th 2009 4:33PM
I got the title on my main but my alt (Main on my other server) got the ram. All in all I have mixed feelings about this brewfest. Glad I did it though.
And I play the game with no sound whatsoever, so I didn't even go near the bad music. :P
Croe Oct 6th 2009 4:50PM
I didn't get the mounts, but I did get the remote, and I actually wanted that more.
Mounts are a dime a dozen, and land mounts are rarely used.
The remote, however, will never get old. It saves a tedious trip to BRD and you get to start up the band there any time you like.
I'm happy.

Only wanted to get the title for my pally (I like Flame Warden on my mage) but never got enough coins, had a lot going on and missed too many days.
Got a Kodo for my Alliance mage, Remote for my pally (always wanted one), two trinket upgrades for my dual-specced pally, a keg for my pally, and the pet (I guess two counting the Wolp) for my pet-whore mage, so it was a fairly good haul.
Angus Oct 6th 2009 5:53PM
Got the Kodo and remote with a few days left.
So I kept going back and got my friend the kodo. She's a happy camper.
I'm just enjoying the Violet Drake and Crusader aura around Northrend. So much faster to get the daily done when you can cross a zone in under two minutes.
OutlandishTrendz Oct 6th 2009 6:33PM
I got my Brewmaster title (only needed the the October monthly brew) and both a Kodo and a Ram. As well as won the roll for the BoE mace at the same time I won the ram. I don't want/need the keg or the goggles (I hate gnomes) as its just more bank slots to take up room, other than that Brewfest no longer offers me anything of satisfaction.
Kaid Oct 6th 2009 6:36PM
I've missed a few from the meta, so this was not my time to get the protodrake. But I'm still very contented with what I got.
My main already got the kodo last year, so all I wanted for her was the title which is my personal favourite ever in the game. Well, other than Starcaller.
Both my just-gearing tanky alts were happy to get the trinkets and a bit of practice loltanking. One also got the ram as an unexpected bonus.
Most of all, I wanted the title for my 77 DK (because she's a dwarf and it suits her) and was very happy to get it. I was pretty keen to get the tankard too, but never won a roll...however was delighted to receive a gift-wrapped one in the mail yesterday from an awesome guildie.
Achievements aside, I really like this festival.
Riltia Oct 6th 2009 7:11PM
I got the two pets on my priest, and a few tokens here and there.
Otherwise? No, I just couldn't be bothered with it.
The Claw Oct 6th 2009 7:41PM
Got a kodo (I'm alliance), got Brewmaster, finished Long Strange Trip, got my violet drake. Couldn't ask for much more!
Barthaes Oct 7th 2009 2:34AM
Missed Brewmaster by 3 minutes...
You have no idea how frustrated I was.
neoimmortal Oct 7th 2009 11:45AM
On my hunter I got the title, coaster trinket (though I already had the mirror of truth, aren't they on the same cool down?), both brewmaiden trinkets, the 2 pets, and a couple tankards. My 76/77 shaman got the title, pickled egg, brewmaiden trinkets, pink elekk (already had wolpertinger from last year), and the remote.
We killed him 8 times a night almost every night, saw the ram drop twice. My wife got one of the rams, her girlfriend got the other one. She also got a tankard or two. I think everyone got all the trinkets they could want, we were passing on them by the beginning of the second week. All in all it was fun though I wish I could have gotten a mount but no biggie. I am ready for the horseman, does anyone know if he is getting upgraded to 80 this year?
neoimmortal Oct 7th 2009 11:53AM
Oh and 2 of the direbrew shanker 2.0's for my hunter too, which was a little upgrade for the dual dagger of betrayals that I had previously.
