Really easy guys did him with my regular team, and also with 4 locks(4 players total) geared in partial greens, 300k hp life just got dots on him and was running around letting voids slowly pick him up.

Thank you, that's a relief.
I'm off to do it but - where do you get the quest again?
They're telling me you just have to go to BRD and talk to the spy, no lead-in quest this year.
Okay yep. Go to BRD, hang a right, kill the Dark Iron jerks. Click the mole machine console and pull the lever.
When you get to the bar, talk to the Brewfest Spy. The rest (Insult Coren Direbrew) is self-explanatory.
That's correct, just get to the bar and the pick up the daily quest in there.
It really is easy, I also brought my characters at 77 to do it, and they were just barely set up. My 77 hunter kept sitting and standing throughout the fight, I'm still trying to figure out why :).
I just kept my lock, tank and one other in there the entire time, and rotated the other two characters. No healer required if your tank has somewhat decent gear.
and the loot ?
The loot is tasty. Something for everyone, but most of it is the attack power trinket.
Out of 10 runs, I got one swift brewfest ram, which is good for 2 achievements. Also there's
Coren's Chromium Coaster
Req. level 80
Item level 200
Equip: Improves Critical Strike rating by 84.
Equip: Chance on melee and ranged critical strike to increase your attack power by 1000 for 10 secs.

Mithril Pocketwatch
Req. level 80
Item level 200
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 84
Equip: Your harmful spells have a chance to increase your spell power by 590 for 10 secs.
Bubbling Brightbrew Charm
Trinket
+170 Stamina
Req. Level 80
Item level 200
Use: Right Click to summon the brewmaiden, whose very presence bolsters a party's vigor. Wave at her for brewfest brew! (10 min cooldown)
That one's cool because her presence, in addition to her running around meleeing with a spotlight over her head, she also acts like an extra healing totem; healed 139 every 2 seconds, or something.
Brawler's Souvenir
Trinket
Requires Level 80
Item level 200
Equip: Increases your dodge rating by 84.
Use: Increases dodge rating by 335 for 20 sec. (2 Min cooldown)

Someone also linked a dagger... Direbrew's Shanker 2.0 or something. Those of you who were old rogues and farmed up a Barman Shanker know what that's all about. Same graphic as before too ^_^ and about 143 DPS
oh, very nice. Looks like i could get a few upgrades from that.
I'm working on 5x brewmaidens first.
Why should I have to wait more than 10 minutes for Brewfest to come around?
i just did it 5 times, easy as pie , spread your guys out so they don't get hit by the big drill and nuke away.
I got http://db.mmo-champion.com/i/49080/brawlers-souvenir/

a few nice upgrades for my tank :)
Had three of these drop for me last night - www.wowhead.com/?item=Tankard O' Terror.
I couldn't believe this guy drops BOE purples! :D
Cheers,
S.
His cake, after running around in there for 30 minutes getting my key, I read the forums to find that all you got to do is beat up the guys to the right when you come in doh! I got the trinket (tank one) and one of those others that give you spell power which is cool.
I actually parked my slaves backed into the corner pretty close to my tank and the boss. Sure they got hit by the drill but the add that came out got sucked right in my the consecrate.Quote:

Ive gotten every stinking trinket to drop...no mount yet :(
today I did however get [item=37863]Direbrew's Remote[/item] ...very happy about not having to do the whole Dalaran to Iron Forge to Iron Point....ect....will make the daily slaughter less time consuming
same here. Running him now for 5 days. Got both stamina trinkets on all 5 chars, shankers and eggs and shit, 2 remotes but no bloody mount! :((:(Quote:

I have 9 80s on 5 different accounts so I actually kill him 9 times a day.
So far I have gotten every trinket
2 Rams 2 Kodos
2 Remotes
2 Tankards o Terror (sell for 2k each on my server)
Funny thing is when he drops the mounts he always drops both of them at the same time.
Having two remotes is nice becuase I used to have to blast two teams in now I just drill them in.
Been farming for mounts (only one so far). He's pretty easy, I have even taken him out with a mixed bag of my toons minus a healer! Just burn him. Have 3 remotes now... nice for when I want to hang out in BRD.
I gave up on selling the Tankards (3 and counting)... either going to have to level and mace spec my rogue (why?) or start converting my shamans over to enhancement... or maybe dual wield on DKs? Too bad they didn't give Coren weapons that are viable for more than one spec of one class. I guess I should expect things like this by now and be happy the maces don't have Agi/Spirit? :D
FInal Update - I got so bored I was running in members of my level 71 DK team for trinkets. I think they should allow the trinktes to be turned in for brewfet tokens...
Grand total - 10 Tankards, something like 14 to 16 remotes (all 80s have them and a few 71s), 3 Shanker 2.0, 4 Kodos, 3 Rams, 1 billion useless trinkets.
Is it possible to do it with 5 shammies, or do you need a tank? I wouldn't mind getting some upgrades for my original 'main' shammy (79 atm) but she's on the same account as my tank (Clotte). I couldn't do him last year with the 5 but they weren't too geared like they are now.
I did it on my five shaman team, but two of the five shamans died. I didn't use any trinkets, or heroism, but I did pop five Earth Elementals. You could probably do it with less. One of the five shamans was spamming chain heal on the earth elementals (instead of my lightning macros), and all five would Flame Shock and lava burst.
It wasn't particularly pretty, but it was doable first try. You could probably get away with less Earth Elementals and do more runs in a 20 minute span.
Armory Arlassa on server The Scryers. She's the best geared of my shamans, and she's not even that great geared. So I'm sure you can do it.
I did opt to bring a guildy tank and healer along for all my future runs, just because it's easier, and I have a warlock team I'm doing the summons on, too. I'm trying to get Arlassa her Ram and Kodo. So far, of the three of us, there are two rams and one Kodo, but poor 'lassa hasn't received any of them :p
Needless to say, i'm raising my druid team up for bear tanking purposes for Hallow's Eve. Sick of relying on others for RNG lameness.
so far :
5 runs with each 5 summon 5 kills
Loot:
6 Ancient Pickled Egg
3 Bitter Balebrew Charm
3 Brawlers Souvenir
7 Bubbling Brightbrew Charm -> reminds me ofFizzy Bubbelech
5 Coren's Chromium Coaster
2 Direbrew's Remote
1 Direbrew's Shanker 2.0
1 Mithril Pocketwatch
1 Tankard O'Terror
0 Ram Mounts
0 Kodo Mounts
Just did him 9 times this morning. Bunch of trinkets, one tankard, one remote.
I run him every day 5 times and i only got 3 kodos and one ram. an a shit load of trinkets I couldn't even DE.
I hope the horseman is more generous in giving me his horse :)
I ran Direbrew ... um, a lot, not every chance I could, but nearly so. Came out of it with x number of remotes and y number of trinkets that I also don't give a damn about, and 3 kodos and 1 ram. The gf got the ram, so my mount-whore toon came up short this year. Darn it. Said toon already has the Headless Horseman's mount so that's pretty much it for seasonal drops 'til 2010.
re: the HH mount ... I ran it last year every chance I could, with nine toons total (my main team, gf's hunter, and some other 70s of mine), and got it to drop once. It's a pretty tough one.
