Brew's name was conferred on two mountain summits in British Columbia, both named Mount Brew. The higher one at 2891m (9,485feet) is located just south of the Fraser Canyon town of Lillooet, and which is the second-highest in the Lillooet Ranges after Skihist Mountain. The other is just east of Likely, British Columbia in the Cariboo district, 2057m (6,749feet), adjacent to Quesnel Lake.
