Word Origin & History

brew 
O.E. breowan (class II strong verb, past tense breaw, past participle browen), from P.Gmc. *breuwan "to brew" (cf. O.N. brugga, O.Fris. briuwa, M.Du. brouwen), from PIE base *bhreue- "to bubble, boil, effervesce" (cf. Skt. bhurnih "violent, passionate," Gk. phrear "well, spring," L. fervere "to boil, foam," Thracian Gk. brytos "fermented liquor made from barley;" O.E. beorma "yeast;" O.H.G. brato "roast meat"), the original sense thus being "make a drink by boiling." The noun is 1510, from the verb. Brewery (1658) replaced brewhouse (1373).
