Morphology

brewski = brew (transparent) = brew + ski

Formed by adding a playful slang suffix '-ski' to 'brew'; the informal meaning 'a beer' is directly inferable from 'brew'.

Etymology

The word brewski comes from brew 'to make beer' or 'beer' plus a playful ending -ski that makes the word sound friendly or joking. So a brewski is a casual, friendly way to say a bottle or can of beer.
