I would be very leery of any beer with the word 'Budweiser' on the bottle.

It's a very different beer than American bud. :contract:
Yeah?  I don't see why they'd market it under the Budweiser label, given the terrible rep of that swill.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

There's a whole history between Euro Budweiser and American Budweiser.

Both started up roughly atthe same time in the 19th century.  Both were based on the same basic style from Budjovice, Bohemia.  They had a number of court battles before some kind of detante was reached - US Bud can use the name in some countries, but Euro Bud can use it in Europe.

So you'll never see American Budweiser in Europe, and Euro Budweiser (whose full name is Budweiser Budvar) gets called Czechvar in North America.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I think this was done fairly recently.

:beer: <= Czech Budweiser Dark

:cheers:

:o I had no idea there was such a thing!

I absolutely loved the Budweiser Budvar, and buy it here on occasion (goes by the name Czechvar).  In fact I have a bottle in my fridge for later. :cheers:

:yes:

They recently won another court battle against Anheuser-Busch who want to copyright the Budweiser brand in the EU. However, Budweiser/Budvar could prove so far that they've used the name in ad campaigns in Europe longer than Anh-B. :nelson:

The problem is more apparent than real. American Budweiser is fermented rice-swill, Czech Budweiser is a rather good lager beer, nobody could get them confused.

The Budweiser dark is good stuff as well btw.

Happy Birthday BB  :alberta:

No arguments here.  Budweiser gives American beer a bad name.  We actually make great beer in the US but everybody thinks our beer sucks ass thanks to Budweiser.
