A lot of people are understandably upset that the Brewfest mounts are now boss drops instead of buyable items. I’ve heard from no small number of folks who saved their Brewfest tickets from last year’s event in order to purchase the mount with less hassle this year, only to discover that — oops — that wasn’t 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 wasn’t going to cough up a ram.

I’m seeing estimates that range from as little as 1% to as much as 15%. Blue poster Kisirani pops up to say it’s “much, much easier” to get a Brewfest mount drop than it was to get the Sinister Squashling off the Headless Horseman.
