beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

One day I must taste Your Budweiser.

 

Well it is kinda and kinda not, from wiki:


The name derives from the Bohemian city Budweis (Budweiser meaning "from Budweis" in the German language), which was part of the German HRE until 1806, then Austrian Empire until 1918, then Czechoslovakia until 1993, then Czech Republic (since 1920 using Czech name České Budějovice). The long tradition of brewing beer in Budweis started in 1265. In 1795, the German citizens founded a brewery named Budweiser Bier Bürgerbräu. In 1895, Czech brewers followed, founding the brewery called Budějovický Budvar.
In 1876, an immigrant started to brew and sell a brand of beer he called "Budweiser Beer" in the United States.[citation needed] During the ensuing Budweiser trademark dispute, the original Bohemian breweries have been able to protect their rights in most of the several court cases that have been brought. Because of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Convention, geographic names like Budweiser are protected and, therefore, in many countries, Anheuser-Busch has to market its beer under various other trademarks, such as "Anheuser-Busch Bud", while the now Czech breweries have to use alternative names when selling to the U.S.
Anheuser-Busch has a market share in the United States of 50.9% for all beers sold[2]. This is primarily composed of Budweiser brands. In 2008 Budweiser/Anheuser-Busch sold the majority of their stock to Belgian beer giant InBev, to create the largest brewing company in the world. The company's 2005 annual report cites figures which demonstrate Budweiser brands are proving to be quite successful in three markets outside of the U.S.:

• in the People's Republic of China, where Anheuser-Busch has had a brewery in Wuhan since 1995, 3.4 million barrels of Budweiser were brewed in 2005.[citation needed]
• in Canada, where Labatt Brewing Company brews and packages Budweiser and Bud Light for the Canadian market; Budweiser is one of the country's most popular bottled beers behind Molson and Labatt.

Budweiser is also widely available in Mexico due to Anheuser-Busch's half-ownership of Grupo Modelo, through which Budweiser and Bud Light (introduced in 1982) are distributed. In Ireland, Budweiser is one of the leading lager brands; it is brewed, marketed, and sold by Guinness. Budweiser is also available in Italy, UK, Brazil, Argentina, Finland, Germany, Panama, Paraguay, Japan, India and Russia because of partnerships Anheuser-Busch has with major brewers there.
Budweiser is under the name "Bud" also available in Belgium and is imported by Corsendonk breweries and is distributed by Carrefour, the second largest retailer in the world.
Budweiser was recently launched in India, where it's slowly gaining market share by being a much-sought after alternative to the leading Kingfisher, Fosters and Royal Challenge.

I sure love me a kingfisher - good beer!

 

it is crap. i think some czech guy started it to rip off americans

 

this one is:

produced by anheuser-busch

this one is czech:


the name "budweiser" is the source of a very long, drawn out, and fierce legal battle over which company has a right to use the name in which country.

in the US, A-B won their lawsuits, and only the american beer can be called budweiser here, and it is one of the best selling american beers out there, and one of the only american beers to be exported. in some countries they both are sold as budweiser, but in some the american company wins the right, in some the czech company wins the right. they dont stop selling the beer in either case, they just give it a different name and new packaging. now the czech beer is sold under the name czechvar in the us


neither one is very good, imo, but the czech beer is the better of the two

 

budweiser uke:

 

I'm confused.

Whatever. Even Czech Budweiser isn't ... the best one here.

 

Plain old Budweiser and Miller are the blandest beers, I swear.

 

I believe you. :hat:

 

i wouldnt advise paying money for it!

 

yeah, if I wasn't trying to watch my carbs, I would go for a Redhook of some type, the ESB or the IPA, which I think they are calling something else now. Good American craft beer.

 

i always thought it was supposed to be like that. Down the hatch without much fuss.

 

Thanks for being so honest but it's my dream... one day come to the US, have a beer and say to myself: So you're here.

I'm a pathetic fool, I know.

 

Bud and Miller are for people who don't like the taste of real beer, I guess.

 

there really are some great american microbrews. the europeans will never know....

 

i love czech beer, but i must stand by my ancestry and say slovak beer is like liquid gold
when i was in prague i loved budweiser, mainly because it's so cheap

 

:cheers2:

 

if you ever drop by, let me know! i'd buy you a budweiser, and then show you some GOOD beers!


and i would be a gentleman, too

 

the first one looks tasty. The second one's too light and the third one is too orange.

 

I will! So as you let me know if you'd ever plan coming to Prague.

 

I know people who visited Prague and they LOVED it. I 've been wanting to vacation there ever since.
