Brewfest is a holiday loosely based on the Bavarian Oktoberfest. It contains quests and novelty things such as outfits, kegs, and riding rams. In 2008, it began on the 20th of September and continued until October 4th. The main events are just outside of Ironforge and Orgrimmar, although there are also beer gardens set up outside of all the major cities. The only small exception to this is Shattrath; its beer garden is between the Aldor/Scryer elevators, likely so the city's sanctuary status would continue to be easily maintained. (There are even Teldrassil Pink Elekk to be seen within this area by the inebriated.)
Coren Direbrew can be found in Blackrock Depths during Brewfest. He functions almost exactly like the Headless Horseman encounter in Scarlet Monastery's Graveyard in that it takes the completion of a daily quest, [Daily] Insult Coren Direbrew, in order to fight him. Thus, only 1 attempt per character per day per character. So if everyone in your group still have the daily you can do 5 attempts with 1 group. To do more you will need to invite players who haven't done the daily quest. more info

Welcome to Brewfest!
Save Brewfest! from Darna Honeybock, Kharanos : This is just an introductory filler quest to send you to BRD you're not required to complete it in order to pick up the daily quest Insult Coren Direbrew ;
Direbrew's Dire Brewawards 40 from [Direbrew's Dire Brew] : You will recieve this after you killed Coren Direbrew. But you can only complete this once and it is not repeatable.
Chug and Chuck!awards 10: This quest is ridiculously easy; simply accept the quest, loot a Complimentary Brewfest Sampler from the nearby tables, target S.T.O.U.T. and use the brew. Do this five times, then turn around and accept your tokens.
[Daily] This One Time, When I Was Drunk...: awards 10 This quest can only be picked up after a Dark Iron invasion on the Brewfest camp (every 30 minutes). The invasions do not work as they did last year, though you can still pick up Beer and attempt to hit the invading Dark Iron Dwarves, no longer will you receive any sort of special credit or for actually hitting any number of them. Once the dwarves have been defeated and retreat, a piece of Dark Iron Mole Machine Wreckage will remain on the ground that anyone can loot to obtain this quest. You can then turn the quest in nearby and receive your tokens.
Now This is Ram Racing... Almost. :This quest is intended to introduce players to the fine art of ram riding. Upon accepting this quest, Ram Master Ray or Neill Ramstein will mount you upon one of his fine riding rams and give you the Ram Racing Reins, which you must use to control the speed of your ram. You have to maintain certain speeds for 8 seconds each, which is indicated not only by the movement speed of your ram but by colored buff icons on your player. Be careful not to travel too fast, or your ram will get fatigued and slow down severely! You can lower (or completely reset) your ram's fatigue counter by passing the barrels of apples which can be found on the ram riding paths.
There and Back Again
awards 10 : This quest is a little challenging, you are once again granted a temporary ram mount that lasts 4 minutes and you must use the Ram Racing Reins and your new-found skill of ram riding to receive and deliver kegs of brew between the goblins. You must travel down the path, minding your speed and fatigue, and you will be thrown a Portable Brewfest Keg by either Bok Dropcertain (Horde) or Flynn Firebrew (Alliance). Simply return the keg to the questgiver three times to successfully complete the quest. I highly recommend moving as quickly as possible and stopping momentarily at every barrel of apples to insure you do not reach 100 fatigue. After completing this quest, the questgiver will allow you to help him out one more time per day.
"Do you have additional work?" : This isn't exactly a quest, per se, but is a very good option for accumulating more . This "quest" is available after successfully completing There and Back Again. Simply speak to the NPC again and offer to help him out again. The questgiver will give you another ram with which you must retrieve and return more kegs, awarding 2 per loop. You can do this as many times as possible until your ram mount expires (4 minutes). You can only offer to help him once every 18 hours, and only after completing the daily.
[Daily] Bark for the Barleybrews!or[Daily] Bark for the Thunderbrews!awards 15 : For this quest you are yet again given the ram and Ram Racing Reins and this time must run throughout your capital city, visiting different designated checkpoints to preach the great word of brew within a 4 minute time limit. This quest can be rather challenging, as there are no apple barrels to renew your ram's fatigue so it's best to keep a steady (albeit annoyingly slow) pace as you travel throughout your city. Once you reach the fourth location, provided your time, many players opt to cancel the ram buff and simply mount on a regular epic mount to go return the quest.

Coren Direbrew, The Grim Guzzler and the Dark Iron Dwarves!
Players can start the quest line with Save Brewfest!, available from Slurpo Fizzykeg or Darna Honeybock, who is located near the NPC which you retrieve kegs from for There and Back Again. This quest does not have to be completed in order to pick up the BRD daily quest, and serves simply as a breadcrumb quest to notify you that something is up in Blackrock Depths!
Upon arriving at Blackrock Depths, players will notice something new located directly to the right inside of the instance - three Dark Iron Antagonists surrounding a pile of rubble. Once these three dwarves have been defeated, party members can use the Mole Machine Console ("pull the console's levers") to climb inside the mole machine and travel underground into the Grim Guzzler Bar. Once you're out, you'll notice the Brewfest Spy standing just to the left of Ribbly Screwspigot and his cronies. In addition to completing the Save Brewfest! quest, he gives the daily quest Insult Coren Direbrew which is what allows players to fight and defeat Coren for his arsenal of loot.
Special Note: It is important that you start as soon as possible as you will need 550 total to complete all the achievement within 20th September - 3rd October.
Which leaves 490 to get via Daily quests. Thats means you will need to get at least 35 per day, you must be able to collect at least 10 from the ram racing daily quest, (should be easy as long as you don't miss a day)
0-48 - 2 Tokens per ram race (up to twice daily, max 24 a race, 18 hour cooldown since you started your last race.) 15 - Tokens for barking either brew within the city on the ram (daily, ride ram to 4 areas.) 10 - For defending against the Dark iron attacks (daily, every 30 minutes the Dark Iron appear with their machines and attempt to steal the booze, you pick up the mugs on the tables and chuck it at them, if you successfully defend the beer, an item spawns in the middle that looks like a gear and you take the quest.)
