How to build BREW from the tiles

IR · ES · QUI · CKN · ESS · DRI · NK · SH · AM · BLE · HU · MA · NI · TI · ES · BR · EW · SUN · TAN · NED
BREW is built by combining the tiles BR · EW in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in BREW early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
