a person or company that makes beer by mixing, heating, and fermenting ingredients like grain and hops.
From 'brew' (Old English 'browan', to boil) + '-er' (one who does). Beer-making required heating liquid, so brewing became its name.
Brewers were so important in Medieval Europe that they held official guild status and were exempt from some taxes—brewing was considered an essential trade because beer was safer than drinking water!
