Making its return just before World of Warcraft: Classic releases its Wrath of the Lich King expansion is one of the MMORPG's most popular holiday events, Brewfest.
This Azerothian tribute to Oktoberfest is just what it seems to be, rewards, toys, and of course, drinking, lots, and lots of drinking.
If you're looking to dip your toes into these beer-filled festivities, then we have you covered. Here's a guide on Brewfest in WoW Classic, including its release date, quests, rewards, and more.
UPDATED - Brewfest is live!
The Brewfest celebrations have begun in WoW Classic!
Beginning with the culmination of maintenance there will be festivities galore. Quests and dailies to complete, rewards to earn, a boss in Coren Direnbrew to defeat, and much, much more.
The holiday will go through WotLK's launch.
WoW Classic Brewfest Start Date
The WoW Classic WotLK Brewfest celebrations arrive on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, and will last until Thursday, October 6, 2022.
This means players will have a couple of days to enjoy the festivities before shifting their focus onto WotLK's release.
Players can expect the Brewfest festivities to be live in-game following the weekly reset maintenance scheduled to start at 10 am EST and end at 11 am EST. The length of this server downtime is a rough estimate based on previous server downtimes, meaning that servers could go live before or after the time allotted by Blizzard.
