What Beer Name Butchering Have You Seen on Menus?

Haven't read through the entire thread but immediately thought of Anchor Brewing Co. So many people think the name of the brewery is Anchor Steam, seen it many places. Ex: Anchor Steam Porter or Anchor Steam Old Foghorn

 

The first time I saw their brews at a bar, I though it was spelled this way so I asked for a la-GWIN-tas. The hipster bartender snarkily informed me of the correct pronunciation.

Question: when referring to German breweries or beer styles, do you pronounce the W as a V? I haven't decided whether or not I sound pretentious when I do this.

 

When beers are listed or referred to as Belgiums.

Belgium Pale Ale?
or I love this one.."I'm not a fan of Belgium beers"

 

I see "Dogfish IPA " listed frequently....um thanks but there is at least 4 different Dogfish Head IPA s

 

North Coast Voodoo instead of Lost Coast Voodoo at a prestigious craft bar in Denver, when I pointed it out (nicely mind you) dude was like "cool"

 

New Castle Ale.

It's Newcastle. One word.

 

I received a 'Blackbeard' shirt in a BIF a few years ago and tried to look it up on here to no avail; mainly because I was searching for the wrong thing. It even has a picture of a black heart. Place face to palm. It's a pretty metal shirt, as most things are with FFF.

 

From Revolution's taproom release of Straight Jacket:



Another beer (E Norma Gene, I believe) they had was aged in Wodford Reserve barrels.

 

I pronounce the W as a V, but I hold back on dropping full out German accent on them. I pretty much just use American dialect and replace the W with a V sound. I only think it sounds pretentious when people switch accents for an entire word in a sentence and then go back to speaking in the original accent.

 

I have to come clean, I've been calling Jai Alai "Jye Uh-Lye". Then my friend who doesn't even drink beer corrected me. I feel like an ass.

Almost as bad as when I was a kid and thought I really liked the music of "Fred-Rick Chop-in". >__>

 

I was at an Oktoberfest in my local area last October. They had Franziskaner Dunkel Weiss which they spelled the Franziskaner right but underneath the "Franziskaner" they had written real big "Dark Beer". And all these locals were ordering it that way, "can I have a dark beer", or "two dark beers please." I went up and ordered a Dunkel Weiss and they said they didn't have that...Priceless!!!

 

This isn't really a menu thing (since I never see these beers on menus) but I have no damn clue how to pronounce Nogne O. I just call it "Noggin-Oh".

 

New Holland Mad Hater

 

^nerg neh uh

or just say naked island

 

Hmm that's what I thought it was. Whoops. How do you pronounce it? Also, what language is it/what does it mean?

Not that we get it up around Philadelphia anyway...

 

"Hye Lye". Apparently it's a basque sport played in Florida.

 

I see Rouge Dead Guy all over the place, even in our hometown of Newport Oregon. Rogue!

 

As a long time (former) NY resident i find this to be one of the funniest mistakes I've ever heard of .

Did they make it during a riot?

Can't wait to have the Yuengling from Sing Sing....

 

Bell's Black Nose Stout
