person who professes the art of brewing. There are companies of brewers in most capital cities; that of London was incorporated in 1427 by Henry VI. and that of Paris is still older.
The apparatus and utensils of a brewer, or a brewery-house, are, A furnace made close and hollow for saving fuel, and with a vent for the smoke lest it taint the liquor; a copper, which is preferable to lead; a mash-vat near the head; a cooler near the mash-vat; and a guile-vat under the cooler: adjoining to all are several clean tubs, to receive the worts and liquors.
Brewers-Haven, a good harbour at the north end of the island of Chiloe on the coast of Chili, in South America, and in the South Sea. The Dutch landed forces here in 1643, desiring to get possession of some part of Chili; but they were driven from thence by the Spaniards and the natives. W. Long. 82. S. Lat. 42.
