Fun Beer Mispronunciations or Misinterpretations

Can some one tell me how to say Jai Alai. I've heard it a lot of different ways.

 

Vine-shtef-ahn

Who-garten

Twa-mon

 

High ligh

 

definitely have served a FW double jack when somebody wanted a double jack daniels...

favorite misreadings and subsequent ordering of a menu item: "boomerang heineken" or "gangbang heineken" : (ommegang hennepin)

 

Is there a correct pronunciation? If so, what?

 

I say Soo-Cob-uh.

 

What bar serves both of those lol?

 

OK, I know this is from ages ago but I just found this thread. All my French pronunciations I attribute to being an NHL fan and years ago there was a Dman on the Quebec Nordiques (damn, I'm so dating myself) named Norman Rochefort (pronounced by the great commentator Dan Kelly as Nor-mahn Rowsh-four), so that's how I pronounce it. Then again, most people called the Russian winger Sergei Makarhov (Mak-a-rov) while Kelly called him Mah-kar-ohv. The 3 game series of Canada vs Russia in the 87 Canada Cup were probably the 3 best games of hockey I've ever seen, and Kelly used to call all the games when USA network had the NHL back in the day.
Also, I thought it was Cahn-tee-yohn. Again, all my French coming from the NHL.
Want to hear a funny one not beer related? Why the bloody hell can nobody pronounce Kassers Vodka? I've heard it called Kesslers, Kessers, Kaisers (Keyser Soze!), Kasslers, etc. Everything but Kassers? WTF? I guess when you drink turpentine liquor it fucks with your brain cells and affects you.

 

Lowenbrau is so terribly misprounounced we may as well be beating the name to death.
Louven Broy not lowen brow!

 

I wonder why "we" mispronounce it?

 

Having someone say "you're drinking that weird beer", to which I reply: "Yes".

 

The other night at a restaurant I was at that had a pretty nice craft beer selection, I heard the waitress call a Duvel a "duvet" (like the cover that goes on a bed) when she handed the gentleman his beer. I nearly spit out my beer and as I enjoyed a hearty belly laugh while some of the nearby patrons and the waitress looked at my like I had just grown a 3rd eye. Apparently, they didn't find it as funny as I did.

 

So, how does one pronounce Ola Dubh? I'd be inclined to say "oh-luh DUB." I'd probably get funny looks.

 

A customer at the liquor store I used to work at asked me about some good heferweiser recomendations.

 

One of the funniest to me was when I called Tecate (ta-kate) and was promtly corrected by a 16 year old waitress serving me my fish tacos.

Um...it's Te-ka-te'

And I was one of the Cantillion people. Can-till-ian

 

Had a "misinterpretation" issue at a flying saucer recently.

They didn't have most of the beers I was asking for off their menu and the girl asked what style I was looking for- told her an IPA or an Imperial IPA.

"Oh we have that Stone Imperial Russian Stout"

 

No Joke I work at red lobster and when we first got Stella another sever says to me "What's a Malh malh?" So I told her to go ask the table again because I had no clue. She comes back and she says "He wants to smell a Malh malh and it says we have it on the menu" I almost peed my pants...
I made the one bar owner re write his beer list because he had Olivia instead of Ovilia.

 

I knows it's wrong but my brain always makes Uinta, look like UNITA to me. In fact I thought it was actually UNITA for years.

How is supposed it be pronounced?

 

I used to think Yuengling was an asian beer.

 

On the bottom of their 4-pk holders (as well as on their website) it shows the pronunciation as "you-IN-tah." It also explains what Uinta means.
