Updated Loot System

Only the first attempt on a single Battle.net account will be eligible to receive the item drop, however. For each subsequent daily attempt on the boss with a single Battle.net account, the chance for the item to drop will increase and continues to accumulate for each failed attempt. This change will allow players to spend less time working to earn a specific dropped item while providing an increasing opportunity to get that item during the holiday.

Barreling Down

Keep your wits because you'll have to roll barrels through Valdrakken and deliver them to the Artisan's Market.

Bubbling Brews

Test your skills in Dragonriding and take to the skies above the Artisan's Market in Valdrakken to collect bubbles to fill a barrel.

Brewfest Chowdown

Slurp and burp your way through this eating contest to be crowned the Chowdown Champion. Compete with three other players in front of a panel of spectators to prove your prowess but try not to choke (literally)! The first to finish 10 plates of sausages takes home the prize. Manners optional. Speak with Etga (Horde) or Britta Steinhart (Alliance) to participate. Prize: 1 Brewfest Chowdown Champion Token.

Timed Events

Every half hour a group of alementals, hozen, or Dark Iron dwarves will show up to destroy the Brewfest grounds. Put a stop to their shenanigans for a reward once a day.

Chug ‘n Chuck Alementals

Throw nearby taster mugs at these destructive alementals to put a cork in their plans.

Shoo Pesky Hozen

Unruly hozen want to monkey around—restore order by driving away these pests.

Tip: Some of these buggers are winged, so saddle up on a flying mount to reach them!

Ceremonial Keg Tapping

Join the Draenor-famous Frostwolf brewery Warband Ales for a special toast during Brewfest at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. server time. Alliance players can do the same with the Thunderbrew and Barleybrew breweries.

Daily Quests

Complete special daily quests to obtain experience, gold, and Brewfest Prize Tokens to purchase holiday items.

Sample Fine Food and Brew

Stumble your way through the grounds while trying specialty food and brew from all over Azeroth and Draenor.

Achievements

Brewmaster

To complete this achievement you will have to eat each food listed in the achievement at least once.

For this achievement you will need to gather 200 Brewfest Prize Tokens and buy a "Brew of the Month" Club Membership Form from Blix Fixwidget or Ray'ma if you play Horde, or a "Brew of the Month" Club Membership Form from Belbi Quikswitch or Larkin Thunderbrew if you play Alliance.

This item will start a quest for you to turn in the signed form to either Ray'ma or Larkin Thunderbrew depending on your faction. On completing the quest, you will have successfully joined the Brew of the Month Club, and you will get the achievement.

To obtain this achievement, you will simply have to queue for the Brewfest-specific dungeon boss Coren Direbrew on the LFG tool, and kill him. The achievement will be granted to you the first time you kill him.

There are two ways to complete this achievement. You can either obtain one of the two mounts listed in our "Mounts" section of this guide, or you can use a variety of hops (listed below) to transform your mount into a Brewfest mount temporarily.

The vendors for these hops are Blix Fixwidget and Ray'ma for Horde players or Belbi Quikswitch and Larkin Thunderbrew for Alliance players.

This achievement is obtained after purchasing a Wolpertinger's Tankard for 200 Brewfest Prize Tokens from Blix Fixwidget or Ray'ma for Horde players or Belbi Quikswitch or Larkin Thunderbrew for Alliance players. You can't buy it from the Auction House as a caged battle pet, since it won't give you the achievement that way.

Other Achievements

This achievement is very similar to Going Down?. To obtain it you have to fall 65 yards without dying, while wearing the Synthebrew Goggles. You can purchase the goggles from the usual Brewfest vendors for 200 tokens.

There are many locations where this can be achieved, here are a few of ways to do it:

  • Walk off the flight master's ledge towards Grommash Hold
  • Walk off one of the bridges in Shattrath City at its highest point
  • If you have a flying mount, you can fly upwards and fall down from the desired height. This might take some trial-and-error, just make sure you're fully healed before attempting it again.

To obtain this achievement you have to sample each different kind of brew that you can purchase during the Brewfest. There is three different vendors you will need to visit to obtain all the brews needed to complete the achievement. You can find them outside Orgrimmar or Ironforge.

Both Factions

Horde

Alliance

For this achievement, you will first need to obtain 3 different pieces of the Brewfest Garb. You can find all of them listed on our "Transmog" section of this guide, on the "Armor" subsection. You will need a total of 350 Brewfest Prize Tokens to purchase the ones necessary for the achievement.

Your next step is to buy enough alcohol to get completely drunk.

Once you've done both steps, you'll have to go to Northrend Dalaran (Broken Isles' doesn't work for this achievement), drink until you're completely drunk, and /dance while wearing the 3 pieces of clothing. The achievement should be granted to you.

To get this achievement you have to sample each different "Brew of the Month" over the course of a whole year. To be able to obtain each "Brew of the Month", you will have to sign up for the "Brew of the Month Club". Instructions on how to do this can be found in the "Brew of the Month" achievement tab on the "Brewmaster" subsection of this guide right above.

Once you have signed up for the "Brew of the Month Club", you will recieve an in-game mail each month with a sample of that months' brew. You can also purchase the same brew from the Brew Vendor in Orgrimmar or Ironforge. The brew they sell will rotate every month, and will always be the same one as the one you recieve in your mail.

Disclaimer: Sometimes you won't recieve the mail with the brew, but you will still be able to purchase the brew for that month from the vendor as long as you signed up during the Brewfest.

To get this achievement you have to interact with the Bar Tab Barrels at taverns on the Dragon Isles.
