Brew of the Month: Bartlett's Bitter Brew

It's November 1st, the start of a new month, which means all of WoW's monthly events and quests have turned over. This includes the Brew of the Month club from Brewfest, and this month's brew is Bartlett's Bitter Brew.After September's Binary Brew and October's Acorn Ale, this month is a little underwhelming. Drinking a bottle of Bitter Brew gives you a debuff called Nauseous. Once the debuff has run its course (or you click it off) your character will spew, and you get the Girded Gut debuff, preventing further barf for 60 seconds. Oh, and you can barf on other people. Um... gross. I think I prefer the squirrels.
At least drinking the Brew of the Month still gives you Empty Brew Bottles to smash over your friends' heads. I think that alone was worth the price of subscription.

If you barf on others, they get the 'slimed' debuff, and a 'nauseous' buff themselves.
when they spew on someone, the same happens again.
The girded gut debuff prevents 2 players chaining barfs, but 3 players can chain vomit indefinitely :)

"And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life..."

Haha Smurk, I love that movie! Everytime I run the Deadmines I think about it =P

This is going to be great in raid. I can wait to see everyone's reaction when I start a barf chain.

Bad timing, we've all been throwing up from candy, but at least throwing up on others is fun...

For December there should be a brew that makes everyone you see a snowman or something.

I know Alliance side, they sell it in the IRonforge inn, there's a vendor there if you bought it durring Brewfest.

They (blizz blue) said you will have to wait until next brewfest to complete the achievement because you cannot get Binary.

@ Xerous: I have credit for Binary Brew on two characters =P Bought some on the the last day of September and it had about 7 hours duration left when I drank it.

It's better than the squirrels, which were a huge disappointment after the wonders of binary brew.

Eh Blizzard needs to be more creative...

From what it looks like, the girded gut does not prevent you from gaining the nauseous debuff from drinking the bitter brew. It does seem to make it a bit harder to obtain, but I've gotten it with the debuff several times.

I don't know...I think this one is pretty cool...pretty creative I thought.
