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 20 September and continued until 4 October. The main events are just outside of Ironforge and Orgrimmar, although there are also beer gardens set up outside of all the major cities (Silvermoon City, Darnassus, Undercity, Stormwind City, Thunder Bluff, the Exodar, and Shattrath).
