controlled rot you'd pay good money to drink, perfected by monks with too much time.
means The process of making beer or tea by steeping and fermenting ingredients in water — or, figuratively, something gradually developing, like trouble or a storm.
from From Old English 'brēowan,' to brew, with deep Germanic roots — a cousin of Dutch 'brouwen' and German 'brauen,' and likely related to words for heat and boiling (think Latin 'fervēre,' to boil, source of 'fervent'). The figurative sense — a plot or storm 'brewing' — leans on the literal image of something bubbling quietly in a pot, not yet poured but clearly on its way.
