Brewhouse
A brewhouse is a building made for brewing beer and ale. This could be a part of a specialized brewery operation, but historically a brewhouse is a private building only meant for domestic production. The brewhouse would be separated from the main buildings for many reasons, but importantly for fire security. Therefore the brewhouse could also be a place for washing clothes and baking bread. English country houses have detailed records of brewhouses.[1] In Scandinavia and Eastern Europe there are several remaining farm brewhouses.[2] However, many of these, especially the older ones, would be multi-purpose 'fire-houses'.[3]
