    So I just made the Amarillo IPA (or at least a very close rendition) that I learned about on these boards. I cracked into my first bottle tonight and it's awesome! I want to brag about it to my friends but, embarrassingly, don't know how to pronounce the hops.

    Is it Amary-o (spanish pronunciation) or Amari-llo (english pronunciation)?

    I appreciate your help because I need to brag about this batch :)

    Hard L's. Especially if you live in Michigan. :) Way to far north to do it the other way. :)

    I say it like the city in Texas. English pronunciation.

    Sounds just like Camarillo :p

    I always pronounce this the anglicized way (rhymes with Brillo) unless I'm actually (attempting to) speak Spanish, in which case it would be extremely unlikely that I was referring to the hop variety.

    In California, there is a city called "Vallejo". They went half-assed on the pronunciation; they should call it

    va-yay-ho

    Or, it they want to americanize it,

    vall-eh-joe

    But no. They call it

    vall-eh-hoe

    My favorite spanish word is ma-chee-chos, matches, naw, I just made that up. Es muy feo. El stupido. I say it the english way, a'-ma'-rillo, with a southern accent. Yee ha. I'm sure my spelling is wrong on the spanish words, because my computer doesn't type in spanish.

    Good call on the all Amarillo IPA. I brewed a batch in over the summer and it turned out really well! One of the best beers I've brewed!
