Brewfest!
Isn’t this a World of Warcraft thing?
Make it a Dwarven celebration, instigated to commemorate their transformation by the Great Dwarf.
It’ll be called….. Rocktoberfest!
No thank you. I really don’t see why GW would need to copy WoW on that regard, especially if it’s basically just a reskin of Brewfest.
If they did want to add a festival concerning the Norn, they should make the annual Great Hunt into one. Add a collection of new champs and legendary animals in certain areas for the duration of the festival, have players kill them to collect trophies for different rewards (animal skin and bone armor and weapons come to mind), and set up banquet tables in certain party areas that give players food buffs and the like. Towards the end of the festival, last week or something, the actual Great Hunt mission/mini-dungeon would unlock, and the players can kill whatever monster it is for a reward.
It would make a lot more sense than something like Brewfest.

But it’s not a copy of WoW, it’s a copy of Octoberfest which WoW also did. Christmas is done in both yet GW2 isn’t copying WoW.
I’d love a beer themed holidy to celebrate one of humanity’s oldest nourishments.

It would be a copy of WoW’s Beerfest because it would be a holiday that’s about beer and drinking. While there is a large amount of beer served and drunk at (the actual) Oktoberfest, the festival itself isn’t about beer. It’s a funfair more akin to the large state fairs here in the US. It’s only the debauched versions that are solely about alcohol.

WoW still is not the one to come up with a holidy to celebrate drinking. The Norn have a lot of drinking in their culture, what with beer brawl and whatever that festival out in the south shiverpeaks where you have to fend off the skritt.
