Got the "official" word from the NPE/NES lead about some of the NPE/NES posts.

Not sure where this term came from. Brew is the internal code name for the NPE 6.x server. It is not based on NES but shares many features including some subsystems which have been ported from NES to NPE.
Brew, aka NPE, is no longer paired with NES. It is a Web/application server in its own right.
Brew has always been an HTTP server and was capable of deployment as such from initial release. Because the early release did not focus on features common webservers had, we didn't push the idea that it was a replacement for NES. As features have acreted onto Brew it became reasonable to suggest it was a useable replacement for NES. Some Brew/NPE customers still deploy their application as a 2-tier architecture with NES as the first tier. This architecture is a holdover from earlier versions of a template engine called NPE (versions < 6.0) which used a proprietary protocol between NES and the NPE engines on the second tier.
