means A brewer is a person or company that makes beer, ale, or other fermented malt drinks for a living.
from From the Old English verb 'brēowan,' to brew — to make a drink by boiling and fermenting. It belongs to a deep Germanic family (cousins include Dutch 'brouwen' and German 'brauen') that many trace to an ancient root meaning 'to boil, bubble, seethe' — the same simmering idea that gave us 'broth.' Add the agent ending '-er' and you get 'one who brews,' a word as old as the craft itself.
