World of Warcraft's Brewfest is a festival that allow players of all ages to drink and be merry. Unlike its real world counter part, no one gets carded and players don't have to worry about that nasty hanger over the next day.

It's a silly fest solely about getting your drink on. Pets can be acquired, mounts can be found, but more importantly your avatar can drunkenly ride and do silly things like deliver kegs of beer, act foolishly for achievements, or even go so far as to fight raid bosses totally soused.

Brewfest has as its currency tickets. Tickets can by you new festive clothing, pets to even a year long subscription to receive beer in the mail. Tickets are earned by doing quests; usually tasks involving coppices amounts of alcohol: drinking it, delivering it, and doing things while drunk on it.

Dailies

Brewfest has a few dailies that can net you those coveted yellow tickets. Many are a once a day event that nets you at most 10 tickets. There is one named 'There and Back Again' that can be exploited for a good number of tickets. It is considered a daily but it lets you try it again after 18 hours, not 24 allowing for a player to do it twice daily.

This along with getting used to the path the ram takes; you can become very efficient at milking the amount of tickets gained. Hugging and cutting by apple barrels and tapping just enough to push the ram into red without letting it drop into fatigue (only using the apple barrels to drop the rams fatigue) can lengthen your ram delivery trip to a good solid three minutes if not more, scoring a good number of tickets.

One such daily can lead to a new mount…or two.

Mount farming

Every day you can pick up a quest in Black Rock Depths to insult Corben Direbrew. This guy is clearly very sensitive about his beers; insulting him starts up a daily even that has him and another NPC appear, fighting you in a battle.

Be sure to be in a group (or really sure that you can solo an elite mob), ready (as each attempt win or lose counts as a daily, and to fight inside the room he's in. Nothing like targeting a patron by accident and getting swarmed by all of the angry bar patrons during the fight.

This angry guy is visited by groups a lot as he has a chance to drop not one but two mounts.

The hourly event

Every day during Brewfest on the hour, an event takes place in front of Orgimmar and Ironforge in which Dark Iron dwarves come in to destroy the festival kegs.

Fighting on top of the large kegs and tables is a great spot to counter the knock back from the dwarves tossing brew at you. Standing inside the beer vendor tents with your back to the tent wall also helps with this.
