The position, rank, or occupation of being a brewer, or the period during which someone works as a brewer.
From 'brewer' (one who brews) plus '-ship' (a suffix indicating position, rank, or state). The '-ship' suffix comes from Old English and is used in words like friendship and membership.
Medieval brewerships were often prestigious guild positions—brewers were so important to their communities that they sometimes held political power and could set beer prices!
