A building or facility where beer is brewed, containing the equipment and vats needed for making beer on a commercial or large scale.
Compound of 'brew' (to make beer) and 'house' (a building). The word has been used since medieval times to describe dedicated brewing facilities attached to castles, monasteries, and towns.
Ancient brewhouses were often located near grain fields and clean water sources—brewmasters could tell water quality by taste and smell, making them early experts in water chemistry!
