In summary

Alteration of older Maisch, from Middle High German meisch (“mash”), from Old High German *meisk, from Proto-West Germanic *maisk, from Proto-Germanic *maiskaz, from Proto-Indo-European *moiḱ-sḱ-o/eh₂-, from *meyḱ- (“mix”). Cognate with English mash. The spelling with -ai- is of Upper German origin. It is unusual insofar as modern ai-spellings in Germanic words are otherwise influenced by related words with -a- (e.g. Maid) or the desire to distinguish homophones (e.g. Laib). Perhaps due to the influence of southern German brewers and winemakers.
