Etymology

The term 'brewski' originated in the United States in the late 20th century as a colloquial and informal way to refer to a beer. It is a playful and casual term commonly used among friends when talking about grabbing a drink. The word 'brewski' is a blend of 'brew' (referring to the brewing of beer) and the informal suffix '-ski' which adds a light-hearted and slightly humorous tone to the word.
