Hmmmmmm, that looks interesting and I found pretty good reviews on the web as well. Never heard of it before.
But I'd especially love to hear how you guys pronounce Tröegs with "O-Umlaut" :D

Just like the Germans would pronounce it without the "e".

Well, I just got a can of "Shermans March" pipe tobacco and I'm drinking "Rebel Yell" whisky. My poor body doesn't know what to do! :eek:

Well, my experience so far is that those letters seem to be pretty difficult to pronounce
for native English speakers. Like "th" for us non-native English speakers. Thats why I was surprised to see a brand name like this in an English speaking country. ;)

I don't know about the Queen's English, but here in the states, we tend to add a lot of letters, which have no value whatsoever, to words. There are a lot of words with *extra* letters where the letter means nothing and is not pronounced!

Tuesday around noon and you're already having a whisky? :eek:
Do we need to get worried, Croak? :D

Nah, it's after lunch here in my neck of the woods. ;) Besides, I just drove through a snowstorm to take my daughter to the Allergist and back. I could use a little relaxation!

Surprisingly we pronounce it the same as the Germans would, just with an American accent.

So basically, like a grunting noise during ***********. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

We do have some Bavarian named American Breweries here in the USA. Some of them are quite good... you know, if you like that sort of Bavarian thing. :D

Tr-oh-gs

They ignore the umlaut lol

From an interview...

"T.B.I.M: How do you pronounce Tröegs?
Tröegs: It’s pronounced with a long O, not uh or uh-e (as the umlaut would imply)."

I asked LT to delete my acct

Did you have a cold ? Or an infection ? Had this some years ago and couldn't smell and taste anymore but it came back after two weeks slowly. This was horrible. :tdown: Hope you get better soon.

Not exactly sure mate. The only beer I`m basically tasting is the ones that have that "Grapefruit" hop, and I HATE that.

The o umlaut in German is pronounce like a long O except with the lips pursed more. (At least that is the way my Berlin native teacher taught us.)
