Bruise or bruise means a contusion; the temporary purple or blue mark left after an injury--
He has a nasty-looking purple and blue bruise on his leg, but no other injuries.
If that bruise isn't gone in a few days, you should see a doctor.
Brews or brews ( rhymes with bruise ) may be the third person singular ( he, she, it ) form of "brew", meaning to make beer, or some other concoction that is boiled, steeped, or fermented--
He brews beer in his basement, but only shares it with a few friends.
She brews some kind of herbal tea; it tastes awful.
He brews coffee in an old-fashioned percolator.
Brews may also be the plural ( more than one ) form of "brew", meaning a beer or a concoction--
He went out to pick up some more brews.
These look like cauldrons full of witches' brews, what are they?

"When he went to order some more brews, he fell and got a bruise."
