It's that time of the year again when all our cities get filled with kegs and drunken people of all different kinds. The
Brewfest brings quite a bit of different grinds as most of the sesonal events.
Money grinding isn't the first thing that comes to mind with the Brewfest. As with all of the world events there's a bunch of different achievements to be gained. Some easier, some harder... some that is all about eating sleazy food and drinking weird beers.
For the collectors there's a bit of things to do here as well. Since last year the Brewfest brings a boss that is only up during the actual event and there is a daily quest to do that involves killing him. The boss,
Coren Direbrew can be found in the Grim Guzzler in Blackrock Depths and he drops a bit of epic quality trinkets and a broken bottle that serves as a dagger. These drops are not bad and are basically the same kind of trinkets that you could get for Emblems of Heroism.
However, the really interesting things Coren Direbrew drops are two mounts. Great Brewfest Ram and for the real lucky people, Great Brewfest Kodo. Apart from the regular grinding with the world events, this boss adds to the grinding for sure. I know that we spent hours down in BRD last year trying to get everyone the mounts. It was a ton of switching between alts to maximize the amount of tries we got, since well, it's a daily quest... you just get one shot per character and day.
Apart from the shiny mounts, there are also two non-combat pets to be gained through the event: Pint-Sized Pink Elekk that can be bought for 100 Brewfest Prize tokens and Wolpertinger's Tankard that can be bought for just 50s.
So depending on how much of the stuff you want to buy from the Brewfest, you can be in for a lot of grinding. And as stated, the Coren grind itself is quite massive if you're unlucky.
Good luck with all the drops and whatnot and watch out for the pink elekks.
