    		Zymurgist or zymologist.

    "Zymurgy or zymology is the scientific study of fermentation. The word was originally used to describe the science involved in these processes, but has since become more broadly used to describe the brewing of alcoholic beverages. A zymurgist (or zymologist) is one who studies zymurgy...."Zymurgy" is a magazine published by the American Homebrewers Association containing beer-making advice, recipes and history."

    Many of us proudly learned this word in childhood as one of the longest and most impressive that we'd ever heard, but we probably didn't know that it involved opposition to a 19th century movement to do something in Britain that was already enshrined as a constitutional principle in the United States. What is the word, and to what exactly does it refer?
