This is why the British have tea.
"Comin over for a brew?" Is an invitation to come over with zero plans. Might be video games, might be TV and chat, might end up having a BBQ. Could be whatever, just come hang out.
In Finland it's coffee. So a Finn inviting you over for coffee is actually an invitation to just hang casually, not an euphemism for some afternoon delight.
This is how it was for me in college, but "brew" meant beer. At some point it seems me and my friends all mutually decided we can only hang out if we're doing something specific, and I think we've all suffered for that.
