The Perfect Stout

The Perfect Stout is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Dun Morogh. It is step 2 of 30 in the Dun Morogh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dun Morogh at 54.2, 51.2. It rewards 4 reward items, 2 reputation rewards and 4,100 experience.

Description

I'm on a quest to make the perfect stout. I know I can do it -- brewing's in my blood. I just need to find the right recipe...

The Frostmane trolls grow a plant, shimmerweed, up on Shimmer Ridge to the northwest. They use it in their strange, tribal rituals. We haven't found much use for it, but it has a unique taste... and I want to experiment with it in my brews!

Obtaining the shimmerweed will be dangerous, but I'll pay well for any you can "borrow" from the baskets in the troll village.
