10 Beer Names You Might Be Saying Wrong

My guess is that everyone here knows how to pronounce the names of these beers.

But what is the most commonly mispronounced beer you hear?

Not a beer but a style, but I never know how to pronounce Saison.  I’ve heard it at least 3-4 different ways.

I find people outside Massachusetts mispronounce Budweiser and Shiner Bock.

I find that I have an easier time pronouncing Bud as ‘Buttwiper’.

EDIT - Maybe it’s personal preference.

I pronounce most of these correctly, but how do you pronounce Acetaldehyde and Diacetyl? :slight_smile:

The cool thing about acetaldehyde is that once you’ve learned what it is, you’ll never find it in your beer again. Other than maybe one of my early attempts at a light colored beer, I’ve never had it. Sure spent a lot of time figuring out what it is and where it comes from though.

+1.  I remember racking and kegging too soon back in the day and noticing it a time or two. Since I started giving yeast time to clean up, not once.

Still haven’t found DMS even after switching to 60 min boil. Am I bold enough to do whirlpool hopping in pils malt beers? Heck no, that boogeyman is in there somewhere. [emoji6]

Don’t assume.  There’s a whole thread here somewhere on the pronunciation of Pliny.

Funny enough, Grimbergen.  Told a guy about it one time and he loves the beer now, but always adds an ‘s’ in it and says Grimsbergen.

Funny thoughts from the article.  I also see a ton of people misspell Pliny as Pliney.  Sam Calagione apparently pronounces ‘peach’ closer to ‘sin’.

Surprised Duvel didn’t make the list

And it’s spelled Dupont, not DuPont. DuPont makes rubber.

I was thinking Leinenkugel might have been one, but it’s a pretty common beer.  Nickname is Leiny like lie-nee.

And how about the famous Belgian beer “Het Kerstmutske”?

No clue.  How do you pronounce that?

My guess: Het Care-st Moot-Skeh.  Close?

I make a beer called “Rebellion” and people call at brewfests very often ask for some of that “Rebel Lion”. No jest.

Hilarious ! Maybe you should just go with it and use a lion as the logo.  ;D
