In the title hydrated salt, C8H12N+·Br−·0.5H2O, which is isostructural with its chloride congener, the water O atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. In the crystal, the components are linked via C—H...Br, O—H...Br, N—H...Br and N—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate (100) sheets. The sheets are linked by two weak C—H...π interactions, generating a three-dimensional network.
