Tuesday Morning Post: Brewfest begins edition
Happy Tuesday Morning, everyone, and welcome to the new WoW Insider! It's time once again for everyone's favorite WoW holiday, Brewfest. Yes, everyone's favorite holiday. If you think it's not yours, you are wrong. It has beer, kodos, and if you're Horde, the ability to see everyone as a hot orc lady. You cannot top that.
In addition to the beginning of Brewfest, we've seen some interesting news drop as well, including information on major currency changes coming with patch 4.0.1, new background download data for patch 4.0.1 and a new beta build. The biggest news from the latest beta build seems to the be the fact that worgen get to be their own mounts, but there's tons of other amazing stuff too. We have a list of it, and all the other WoW news, after the break. Don't worry, you have time to read, since we have the usual 5-11 a.m. Pacific downtime today.
