Brewfest screenshots without that hangover

Haven't made it to all the Brewfest Beer Gardens yet? Can't find the Pink Elekk's and the dreaded Wolpertinger? Woken up in a stranger's capital city with no pants and no recollection of the last 24 hours? Have no fear. The WoW Insider team has done all that for you. And we took pictures!

From Riding Rams to Tauren Beer Maidens, we've got screenshots of all the major attractions of this short-lived seasonal event celebrating, um, imaginary creatures and overindulgence, really. Best part: no Brewfest tickets required!

While some Brewfest events are hotfixed, others are stubbornly refusing to work without a full server restart. Community Manager Drysc spells it on a late night forum post. The short version, for those whose eyes aren't up to extensive reading after last night's festivities, is this:

Dark Iron attacks are disabled for now. The large number of people using the /wave emote during the twice hourly event was causing many to crash repeatedly.
Blizzard will reinstate the attacks before Brewfest is over as soon if they figure out a work around to the crashing problem..
Ticket rewards for other Brewfest activities have been increased to compensate for the lack of Dark Iron generated tickets. The Barking quest reward increases from 15 to 40 and the Keg Delivery quest increases each keg to 3 tickets (and can be done every 12 hours.)
Until the Dark Iron attacks are brought back, "Complimentary Brewfest Samplers" acquired by /waving are disabled (confirming the /wave emote/crashing problem)
Brewfest Goggles which were implemented with a temporary duration, will be permanent. A duration timer will show until the next patch, but can be ignored.
No /wave or emote is necessary to complete the Barker quest. Just be on the Riding Ram and pass close enough to the flags.
In a separate thread, it was confirmed that the Pink Elekk's quest is NOT a daily quest. Some players were able to do it twice due to a one-time reset.

The servers will be getting a rolling restart this morning at 5:00am PST. We'll have to keep an eye on the forums to see what got fixed and what's still bugged.
