's World of Warcraft. This year's Brewfest promises to be yet another fun-filled time to enjoy all the fermented fruits of the harvest - all without the hangover.

The main Brewfest festivals will begin this September 20 and will run all the way until October 4. The venues for the Horde and Alliance factions will be held at Orgrimmar and Ironforge respectively. You also can expect smaller beer gardens to be set up in all the other main cities across the game world.

Classic events such as Ram Racing and the Barkers Quest will be making a comeback, although veteran drinkers can also expect a few new events to pop up during this time. Belbi Quikswitch and Blix Fixwidget will also be offering a new set of Brewfest prizes for any tokens you win during these special events.

Whether you choose Thunderbrew, Barleybrew, or the Ogres as the poison of you choice, it's all good clean fun during the upcoming Brewfest event. Keep an eye on this spot for more updates regarding the World of Warcraft event.
