Brevis is one of those obscure terms that someone who thought they were being clever came up with. It is actually found most often linked with other terms in medical jargon and generally means "short" or "small." However, since the corrections department by which I am employed got ahold of it, Brevis became a classification of inmate based on his predilection towards violence. A "Brevis" classified inmate is on the low end of that spectrum and will most likely not cause much trouble in the prison setting. Brevis inmates are generally the first to be cleared for minimum security as they are deemed less of a threat to other inmates or the institution as a whole.
My plan is to name three beers after this classification system. Brevis, then, will be the beer with the lowest alcohol content of the three - Brevis Bock. More on the others as I brew them.
