Pronunciation of Amarillo hops?

[RogueVassar]

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.

 

[BakerStreetBeers]

Sounds just like Camarillo

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.

Gracias!

And the spanish pronounciation would be am-ar-EE-yo

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

I always pronounce this the anglicized way

Due to your avatar I automatically read that in the voice of Clif

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!

Yea, I'm a big fan of Amarillo myself.
