Etymology

From Latin 'cerevisia' (beer) plus the adjectival suffix '-al'. This rare scholarly term appears mainly in historical and technical brewing contexts.

Kelly Says

The word 'cerevisial' appears mostly in medieval monastery documents discussing 'cerevisial regulations'—rules about how much beer monks could drink daily (spoiler: it was a lot, because water wasn't safe) and how brewing was supposed to happen.
