A beverage that has been brewed, or the act and process of brewing; a drink made by steeping or fermenting ingredients.
From Old English 'breowan' (to brew) + '-age' (a suffix forming nouns of action or result). The term has been in use since Middle English, appearing in documents from the 14th century onward.
Before 'brewery' became the standard word, 'brewage' was the go-to term for any fermented drink—it covered everything from ales to medicinal herb steeps!
