It's Feb-ROO-ary, Not Feb-YOO-ary - Part II

I started thinking after my post yesterday on how to say "February" that some people might think it's too hard to say that "br" combination.

Then, I realized that brew pubs are all the rage lately with microbreweries popping up everywhere and Brewer's Alley a popular restaurant in Frederick, Maryland. (Please note that my German friend can't say "Brewer's" to save her life. It comes out like some 12-month-old's "bloooooooooooooooooeur.")

So grab a beer and start saying "February" the right way!
