    fine British beer


    I would respectfully point out that Fullers ESB is not a fine British beer, it's certainly "extra special". Of course if you are comparing it to American Budweiser [*]....


    [*] Not to be confused with the Czech beer.

    Actually there are TWO budweiser drinks, one American one... some other country that I can't remember (although this is probably the right one so it would be Czech). I'm guessing this is why Bud did the whole 'genuine bud' thing to make the difference quite obvious.

    I wouldn't drink the non American one - it's not great. Although to be honest I'm not too fussed about 'the king of beers' either - I'd rather have one of these.

    Which Budweiser, this one or this one?

    I like budwiser, the original Czech one of course :)

    Yeah, except that the Budweiser in Europe is more likely to be the one from Europe, which has no relation to the American beer or company.

    "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser."

    Actually, Budweiser truly deserves the title 'King Of Beers'. Not the American version, though. I'm talking about the original!

    Mmmmm.... Budweiser....

    I'm sure they, like Miller and others, picked up a few microbreweries during the boom in the 90's

    That would be Red Hook. Anheuser Busch owns 25% and handles national distribution and marketing. They also made a bid for Budvar, but the Czech government wouldn't sell.

    Since 15th April 1895.

    Oh, you are asking, since when Anheuser-Busch sold beer? I really don't know.

    The name is Budweiser, and it (the name, at least) is Czech. The original Budweiser is called "Anheuser Busch" or some such in most parts of the world. I'd agree about rather drinking Paulaner out of a plastic bottle, though, even if I still prefer a Jever Pils out of a glass bottle (I happen to prefer beer out of 0.5 liter glass bottles over everything else).
    As a German, does "Budweiser" sound Czech to you? The Czech name is Budvar. Budweiser is what Bohemia's Austrian overlords named it and in most countries the name has stuck. In the US you can get Buvar under the name Czechvar. They are contractually precluded from using Bud* here. I am not sure the AB Budweiser is really "the original." It predates the current Budvar/Budweiser by about 20 years, but it seems pretty evident that a beer named after Bud?jovice, a town Adlphus Bush did not hail from, was probably an homage to a pre-existing Czech product, or at least style.

    I personally prefer another Czech bee the Germans renamed, Plzensky Prazdroj, a.k.a. Pilsner Urquell. It has gone way downhill in recent years, but is still a nice brew.

    Do I have an appropriate user name for this comment or what?
  10. Budweiser Budvar on the trademark dispute by Fencepost · · Score: 2 · on Latest UDRP Stupidity: Unix.org, Canadian.biz

    There's some history of all this on Budweiser Budvar's page on the trademark dispute. Basically, it looks like it's not completely clear on either side - kind of like if someone had started making "Deutsche Bier" in the US, then started exporting to Germany.
