The word is brouhaha, defined in one online dictionary thus:
1. excited public interest, discussion, or the like, as the clamor attending some sensational event; hullabaloo: The brouhaha followed disclosures of graft at City Hall.
2. an episode involving excitement, confusion, turmoil, etc., esp. a broil over a minor or ridiculous cause: A brouhaha by the baseball players resulted in three black eyes.
No doubt the use of "brew" instead of "brou" was because it was related to coffee, so it was a little pun.
