Root Explanation

Microbrew → It is formed from "micro-" (from Greek "mikros", meaning small) and "brew" (from Old English "brūwan", meaning to prepare or make a beverage, especially beer). The word "microbrew" refers to the process of brewing beer in small quantities, often by independent breweries.

Memory Tip

Think of 'small' ('micro-') and 'making a beverage' ('brew') to remember that a microbrew is a small-scale beer production.
