This freaking thread is still going???? I've got to unsubscribe. This is just insane. I've had this beer several time. I call it what I want. I can't believe the bickering here.

Spent a summer in St. Louis when I was in College. I'm sure Louis IX, French Monarch who it was named after, and the rest of the Louis legacy would be aghast at the local pronunciation of one of the local towns.
Creve Coeur means 'Heart Break', literally torn heart, in French. The French would pronounce it krev-koor. Having taken French in HS I thought I was all that, but finally capitulated to the locals pronunciation: kreeve core.
I'll say Plinny and enter into a history discussion with anyone who cares to correct me, just as I was that guy in St. Louis trying to offer a heritage lesson to the locals in the late 70's.

I just think it's proper to pronounce it "Plinny" to pay respect to the man that died at Pompeii trying to save people after Vesuvius got PO'd.

Well, I have to admire a man with grit, sweat & love. Pliny the Elder had all of these qualities...:rockin:
Oh Lord, it's alive again! Mommy, make it stooooop!!
ha ha ha, I could be wrong but Pl-y-nie is how Ive alway herd it
i refuse to read this entire thread, but any input from any greeks? when you wonder about the pronunciation, ask the native speakers
Well, like I said earlier, the real guy's name is Pliny, " Plinnee", that died trying to save people in Pompeii from Vesuvius.
How is this still going? The brewery already said it's, "ply-nee"
Case closed.
Get over it, nerds.
