It's a trick question! You pronounce Williamette just like the name 'William' with an 'ette' at the end.

I thought we were going to trust those of us who have lived in and around the area.
No william.

He was saying that the OP spelled it wrong.

No william.

Read the whole post. There is no 'Williamette' hop. It's spelled Willamette, no second 'i'.

Here is how I pronounce some terms in brewing. Don't know if I am right...but I am from the East Coast so I got that as an excuse.

Willamette - Will-Am-It
Fuggles - Fugg-Ulls
Saaz - Satz
Hallertau - Hal-Er-Tou
Chinook - Shinook
Trub - Troob
Autolysis - Auto-lie-sis or Auto-liss-is (heard it both ways)
Brettonomyces - Brett or Brett-On-Oh-My-Sees
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae - Yeast or Sack-Row-My-Sees Sara-Vis-See-Aye

Born just outside of Portland.


Will-am-it, damn it.

 

[homebrewer_99]

It's not WILLIAM...but Willamette.

I was in Portland once and was told "wil-LAM-et".

 

[RyanPDX]

lol Funny thread. Welcome to R-a-gon, where the Will-a-mit river and the Sal-a-mon flow.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Sal-a-mon? Seriously?

 

[Hang Glider]

Autolysis - Uh TOL uh sis - or maybe Awe TOL uh sis

Salmon - SAM uhn

(former worshingtonian...) - never heard anyone say it that way except the rednecks down here...

 

[Willie3]

Live in Warren County and everyone here thinks we are in RedNeck Nation. That is a "whole nother" topic... yup yup.

 

[rugman]

It's right by See-quim!

[BendBrewer]

Yes it is Will AM it, OR ee gone.

Oh, and for the record, the other one is pronounced Shinook.

[ChshreCat]

Not if you're a tourist.

There was a great commercial about 15 years ago for a local TV show introducing a new news person moving in from back east. It had him and one of the locals at a restaurant and the local is grilling the new guy on pronounciations of local places. Puyallup... Mulilteo... Kalaloch...

He says every one of them perfectly and the local is proud, then the waiter comes to take their order.

He orders the "gee-oh-duck chowder" and she asks for the "la-sag-nee"

Being born raised in Seattle and now living in Portland, I love this thread!

 

[Willie3]

Seattle = See-At-Ull
Portland = Port-Land

 

[DKershner]

Seattle = See-At-Ull
Portland = Port-Land

Port-lund.

It's a trick question! You pronounce Williamette just like the name 'William' with an 'ette' at the end.

But the HOP variety is spelled 'Willamette', there is only one 'i'. And it's pronounced just like it's spelted.

HOOORAH!! spelted? is that a technical term?

 

[ChshreCat]

Port-lund.

port-lind

 

[mordantly]

it's $6.75 per P at hopsdirect! got 2 P's in the freezer right now, oh yeah!

 

[JoeMama]

You could always just go with the vill-helm-yette

 

[northernlad]

Read the whole post. There is no 'Williamette' hop. It's spelled Willamette, no second 'i'.

How about you read the whole post. The OP does not mention anywhere in the original post the word HOP, nor does he allude to it.
He asked how to pronounce Williamette.

 

[mordantly]

well google has nothing for "williamette" as related to "general beer discussion."

 

[hbomb]

The hop, the valley and the river... all with one "I".

The state-> Ore-uh-gun

And when we're not drinking damn good craft beer, it's "pop" all the way!
