How do you pronounce Rochefort?

Whenever I Google a beer question I am invariably led to a thread on BA...

 

Rosh-for

 

From my schooldays I would say that the final t should not be pronounced, that the stress is slightly on the first syllable and I would suggest roshfor or roashfor (I'm sure both these would be commonly used)

 

I'm in for Roke Fort too.

 

Bartenders in Belgium always pronounced it "Rosh-for" with a long O. So, that's what I've gone with.

 

That's how I say it.

 

Row-CHEE-fert.

 

Person on internet passes off opinion as fact

(my fiance is from Belgium.... she concurs 100%... as do her parents)

 

The middle e should certainly not be sounded, and in my hazy schooldays we would be taught to give the initial R a little flourish, like clearing the throat a little. say hrosh fort

 

I pronounce it "YUM"

 

I'm going to the local Belgium bistro and ordering one to tomorrow to hear the translation

 

Like said before by others, it's like Rosh-For. Been to the abbey twice, and that's how the monk selling cheese calls it. Pretty basic French phonetics!

 

roach-fert

 

rowchhe fort!

I like it, I need it

 

My wife and I had it for the first time years ago in Seattle, and the server seemed like he knew his shit, so we have always pronounced it the way he did, which is something like "Roe-sh-fer"

 

I feel bad for her students then.

 

You probably should have titled the thread, "How does Rochefort pronounce Rochefort?". I think when you said "you", people thought you just wanted them to tell you how they pronounce it and not how it's actually pronounced.

 

it is pronounced Ply-knee and if you don't say it right a grammar **** will stab you.
