Working from my memory, he never seems surprised that Brew exists, but he does express great shock when discovering its ingredients (forgivably so, I should reckon). Conceptual artwork for AO showed Abe would have had access to Brew, but since Abe was brought up to be dedicated to his job, there would be no need to introduce him to Brew. Certainly inebriated Mudokons aren’t as hard‐working as the sober.
So I imagine Abe knew about Brew from advertising, and possibly even could pay to drink it in small quantities. The potential combination of the RuptureFarms and SoulStorm Brew stories in the Abe film will probably present a different situation.
