[FRITZ JUENGLING]

The beginning is exactly as the English word 'you'.  My American German speaking friends often rhyme it with 'book', i.e.[U]  Sounds very strange to me.

If that's the Penn. version, it wouldn't help with the spelling,
which is Yuengling.  Whether it would help with the pronunciation
depends on how Fritz renders his "Juengling"; the beer is pronounced
"Ying-Ling", which has always reminded me of one of the offshoots of
the panda family.
