I used to go out of my way for very different beers that were outside the domestic ones. Strong IPAs, stouts, Imperials. But these days I prefer very clean lagers.
Stout. Specially dry stout. Kind of hard to come by in Brazil, most people would rather drink Pilsner, specially light ones.
Fun fact: you can pretty much pinpoint the folks from my city (Curitiba) by how we casually call beer here, “bera” [bɛ.ɾɐ].
is it common to say [bɪr] in canada? i learned something!
It should be /ɹ/ or /ɚ/ instead of /r/.
/r/ is perfectly acceptable to represent that phoneme in a broad transcription. Would only be a problem had
hethey wrote [r].Usually I wouldn’t bother, but seeing as this is a linguistics community; it’s a lot more inclusive to use the singular “they” rather than “he” if you don’t know the pronouns one uses.
Signed, not a he.
I don’t necessarily agree with your argumentation generally speaking (both the generic masculine pronoun and singular they are fine in my opinion), but you do literally have your pronouns right there, so I will admit I could/should have avoided the issue anyhow. Sorry about that.
Edit: Oh, also, Weißbier, to answer your post’s question.
This reminds me Mark Hale using emojis for broad transcription of Marshallese vowels. That was hilarious (and genius - it’s a great way to tell people “focus on their contrast dammit”).
yeah true. thx. i was just a bit puzzeled bc i assumed [ ].
Well, the question was in []. I responded with // because I’m not enough of an expert to attempt narrow transcriptions 🙂.
That is also a fair point.
Note that I’m not great with IPA, English is my second language, and I made this while stoned 2 years ago, so it might not necessarily be accurate! :P I’m pretty sure that’s how most people pronounce it here. Although Canadian English is a wonderful mishmash of American and British Engliah, with a hint of French and Indigenous influences.
How do people say it in your neck of the woods?
I’m not great with IPA
It’s obviously not your favorite type of beer :)
[r] is like the trill (as in Spanish, Polish, etc.). You’re probably using either [ɹ] or [ɚ], depending on how vocalic your R is.
and I made this while stoned 2 years ago,

I could definitely go for a cool IPA right now.
Belgian triple or Saison
Root.
