brewmaster
Craft ale expert
A brewmaster is the person in charge of brewing operations at a brewery, responsible for recipe development, quality control, and overseeing production.
The title suggests expertise and authority—a brewmaster has typically spent years learning the craft.
The brewmaster walked us through their new seasonal ale.
Sometimes used more loosely for any skilled homebrewer.
