Brewday 2011 Hits Test, Will Run on Live March 10-21

From Kaitheel on the EQ2 Forums:

Brewday 2011 has been activated on both Test and Test Copy.

Grab a stein and celebrate Brewday! The shouts of rowdy patrons located near every player city will lead you to The Bar of Brell where adventures and crafts await those thirsty and foolhardy enough to enter. Meanwhile, the Avatar of Below has returned to Antonica. Help him find the best sampling of drinks from all around. And as you’re crawling through the bars and drinking holes throughout Norrath, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for special items of interest to collect!

New features for ’11:

• “Thurgadin Ice Brew” a new quest is being offered by Oldar Foambeard within the Bar of Brell
• New Halas is celebrating Brewday Festival!
• Thurgadin Harbor in Great Divide is also involved in some of the Brewday activities.
• Balin Copperfoot in the Bar of Brell has some new items for players to buy, including new tradeskill recipes!

Returning features:

• In-game mail to announce the event and summarize location of quest givers.
• Bountiful Brewday gardens can only be seen when wearing the “Ale Goggles” head equipment. They spawn in Commonlands, Antonica, Greater Faydark, Darklight Wood, Timorous Deep and Frostfang Sea.
• Brews of Norrath holiday collection found at different bars and drinking holes throughout Norrath.
• Tradeskill recipe book “Brewday Accoutrements to Craft” sold by Balin Copperfoot in the Bar of Brell.
• Rasel Alechaser’s quest “Brell’s Everlasting Brew” is repeatable by those that have completed it in years past, and has a new reward choice.
