Brinebrew was a beverage known for its saltiness. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Iyra sentientologist named Tem Eliss consumed brinebrew from a mug. This occurred in his office, situated at the University of Sanbra, a school found on the planet Sanbra, while he was occupied with writing a manuscript titled The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life, all while seated in his aquachair.
Brinebrew makes an appearance in the short story "An Extinct Guest," which was authored collaboratively by Trevor J. Wilson and Craig Robert Carey. This story saw publication in August of 1997 as a component of the "Alien Encounters" article series featured in Star Wars Adventure Journal 14.
