The new boss, Coren Direbrew, is pretty cool and I am happy to see older content being made relevant again (especially when it is an instance as cool as BRD), but as far as I can tell from the forums and various data sites, the drop rate on the mounts is...less than spectacular cheap wow gold. I am seeing estimates that range from as little as 1% to as much as 15%. Blue poster Kisirani pops up to say it is much, much easier to get a Brewfest mount drop than it was to get the Sinister Squashling off the Headless Horseman. Wowhead lists the Squashling as a 2% drop, so maybe the 15% figure for the Brewfest mounts is more accurate.

A lot of people are understandably upset that the Brewfest mounts are now boss drops instead of buyable items. I have heard from no small number of folks who saved their Brewfest tickets from last years event in order to purchase the mount with less hassle this year world of warcraft gold, only to discover that -- oops -- that was not in the cards. One particularly irate guildie logged off to go enjoy a mini-Brewfest of her own courtesy of the fridge after discovering that the ingame version was not going to cough up a ram.
