Can’t you hear me mispronouncin’

If there’s one thing we love, it’s goofy stuff on the Web. If there are two things we love, they’d be goofy stuff and useful stuff. But when you combine them, suddenly we have more room on our list of top two things to love! So we could just love:

  1. Goofy and useful stuff
  2. Something else

See, it affords us more love to give. Pretty incredible. Why, you could even be the beneficiary!

Point is, we found something useful and goofy: a pronunciation guide to beer terms, complete with audio files on the Belgian Beer Escort site. Comes in English, French and Flemish. So far, framboise is my favorite. I want to make it my ringtone.

    There was a bar I used to go to - Delirium Cafe. It’s kind of world famous because it serves over 2000 beers. Maybe some of them are organic? Worth a try: http://www.deliriumcafe.be/
