How to say BREWERY?
When we speak English our mouths need to be very active, changing shape, sometimes extremely, to articulate sounds correctly.
1. First, syllabicate.
NB: Each syllable has a different mouth shape:
bre-we-ry
broo (as in broom)
wuh (as in whim)
ree (as in repeat)

2. Pronounce the w! It will give you more control.
3. Say broo louder (stress it): BROO-wuh-ree

A clever play on the saying
"Don't judge a book by its cover",
meaning
one should not judge the worth or value of something or someone by their outward appearance alone.
