"The Brews" is a
song byNOFX from the 1994 album "Punk in Drublic ". It is atongue-in-cheek song that subverts theOi! genre, a form of music popular among many types ofskinhead s. The song lionizesJew s and contains numerous laudatory references to Jewish culture. The term "Oy" inYiddish (which sounds similar to the word "Oi!") is a commonly-used interjection expressing mild frustration or concern.
