Anheuser-Busch loses "Budweiser" trade mark in EU |
|
|
Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Jul 31 02:11:25 2010 Doesn't matter how long they've been selling Bud over there, apparently. Certainly doesn't matter that the other company was using the name "Budějovický" instead (only happens that it translates as "Budweiser" in German). This is a territorial whizzing war, and nobody in the USA is picking up the ball, or in the EU for that matter (this is a big blow to InBev).EU Business News

It seems that in 1911 Anheuser Busch signed an agreement to only use the name Budweiser in North America.And please note that German was the official language of the area where Budweiser was originally made for 133 of the 215 years since the beer was first made there. So perhaps the name "Budweiser" has some pretty strong roots in Europe. |

I've never had the Czech one, but Bud's popularity is based on it's mass appeal. The qualities that those that accuse it of being tasteless might say that it lacks are exactly what make it so popular because it's non-offensive. |

Often, I want something with more taste, but that's if I am in the mood. If I want something light, especially in the summer, Bud is fine. |

UK and France are sorta like putting your toes into the water rather than just jumping in. On the other side of the Alps, they don't even use American beer for wetting a paper towel to pick up a stain. :)Seriously though ... the Czechs are the *true* braumeisters. If you happen to spot Budvar, or even better "Pilzen Urquelle" in your travels, grab some. You'll see why Anheuser's Busch is best kept under a skirt. Heh. |

Originally you said "popular", not better. I can easily believe that the Czech beer is better, but I'm not so sure about popular. Especially now that Budweiser is owned by In-Bev. My guess is that the Czech beer is more popular in the Czech Republic, a couple few other countries, and that the American Budweiser is more popular in every other country in the world. |

The stuff is very challenging to find here in the statesalthough our local distri-beers all have it. But in centrl and eastern "Yurp" Budvar is extremely popular. That's why it was an issue when the ersatz crap started showing up. |

I don't like beer except for certain German kinds. The real Budweiser is rather light by Central European standards but I found myself drinking it very often when I was there. I define it as "pleasant", unlike that undrinkable urine that is its American namesake. |

The real Budweiser as far as 90% of the world (including me) is concerned is the American brand. And I do like beer and enjoy many different types. There's nothing wrong with the real Budweiser for what it is. I almost never drink it, but I'm not exactly averse to it. I've tried dozens of different beers and will usually try a new one if I find one in a bar on draft. At home I usually want something lighter and drink Miller Light. |

And I do like beer and enjoy many different types. There's nothing wrong with the real Budweiser for what it is. Of course there's not. And I also like many different types of beer, and when I want a beer with more taste, I do not drink Budweiser. But it's fine for what it is. It's just the liberal, love to bash anything American, or feel guilty for being Americans, that love to bash anything that is American. Budweiser is what it is, it's a light tasting beer. It didn't get to be one of the most recognized and drank beer because it's utter crap. It's fine for a light beer. |

If you ever go to Yurp and start drinking the real beer there, going back to American Bud will be like going back to a 56k modem or a dial telephone. It's like night and day.What's unfortunate is that many American brewers have started making some decent beers that hold up well against their European counterparts but A-B and Miller have forever destroyed the reputation of American beer. It's instinctive for many abroad to react to the mention of American beer in the same way as we would react to the mention of English beef. The fault lies mainly in Prohibition when the good Central European-immigrant founded small breweries were wiped out while big companies like A-B were able to survive on other products until it was repealed. After that you had the McDonaldization of marketing and distribution along with stiff tariffs on imports, assuring that legalized piss like Bud, Schlitz and Miller would become America's most popular brands. Fortunetely, American kids today are moving on to better products whether domestic or foreign. |

No, it's not a "fancy" beer, or even a heavy full bodied beer, but it is what it is, a light beer, that many find acceptable. I don't drink it often, usually only when I don't feel like something heavy, and just want a light beer without that real hoppy taste. Sometimes I am in the mood for that, sometimes I am not. |

I drink mostly micro-brew types of beer, but every so often, for something light, Bud is fine. Bud certainly isn't a "good microbrew", but it's not "Keystone Light" either. |

And that's the only reason people like SMAZ bash it, because it's a popular American beer. It's certainly not up to par to many foreign brews, or many of our great American micro brews...but it's not like it's Keystone Light either. |

You said that you don't even like beer very much. I've had beer from all over the world both here and in Europe. There are lots of microbrew beer in the US that are just as tasty as beer that you will find anywhere.FWIW I usually drink Guinness when I'm out a bar, but I do try lots of different beers both foreign and domestic. I don't experiment with lots of pilsners like the two Bud's. I might try the Czech Bud if I had the chance, but it's not high on my list. |

All that was left after its repeal were brands with marketing muscle like Bud, Miller, etc. The gov't played along by imposing stiff tariffs on potential foreign competitors. THAT is how it became popular. By forcing US consumers to choose between cat piss, horse piss and dog piss. |

And I disagree that it tastes like nothing though. It's a light pilsner. It is what it is. It's not that different from most other pilsners. They all kind of taste the same. |

The problem with American Bud is not that it tastes bad. It's that it tastes like nothing.If you want disgusting-tasting, try Lone Star. And that is not necessarily a "problem". Again, I like many other beers BETTER, however, sometime I don't want a beer with all that "taste", or a heavy foreign beer. There's nothing wrong with sometime just wanting something light. Especially when I have beer with food, I don't like something all that heavy, as it fills me up, and I don't enjoy my food then, as I feel bloated. Sometimes I am in the mood for "little taste that tastes good". You have to remember also that we are different culturally in the US too than many other foreign countries. Some of those countries have more wine drinkers with meals, and they don't always drink beer with meals like many Americans do (Obviously that varies from country to country). Americans drink lighter beer because we drink differently than foreign countries, and they aren't "right", and we aren't "right", it's just the differences in culture. |

They all trace their "heritage" back to "3.2 beer." So weak, wasn't considered alcoholic during prohibition. Some of them have come back up to 4.0 or so, but there's very few 8.0 beers outside of the microbrews. |

I drink mostly micro-brew types of beer,Good. But you probably acquired a better taste for beer by being exposed to better stuff by visiting Holland or Belgium. Most Americans blindly consume what is marketed to them. It's not their fault. This is the country that think of "Olive Garden" as fine Italian dining. Other countries market bullshit too. but it's not "Keystone Light" either. |

That's like saying people are Italosnobs for not going to Olive Garden or Mexisnobs for not going to Taco Bell. I might try the Czech Bud if I had the chance, but it's not high on my list. You are not missing much. It's nothing special. It's just better than American Bud. |

THEY aren't "right" any more than we are "right", it's all tastes and preferences. Many knock our micro brew beer just because it's "American". Personally I don't like the taste in many foreign beers, especially Dutch and Belgium beers (Yes I know AB is now Belgium, but they are using an American recipe not a Belgium recipe), I just don't like that taste that beers like Heineken, Stella, Amstel, Grolsch, etc has. I can't pinpoint it, but I don't like the "extra" taste. I do like German beers, but there is also a certain taste there that I have to be in the mood for. I much prefer many of our own American microbrew beers best. And that is not "right or wrong", taste is personal. SMAZ is knocking Americans for having a different taste than he has. They are not "wrong" any more than he is "wrong". Personal taste can't be "wrong or right". FWIW I usually drink Guinness when I'm out a bar, but I do try lots of different beers both foreign and domestic. I don't experiment with lots of pilsners like the two Bud's. I might try the Czech Bud if I had the chance, but it's not high on my list. I also like trying different beers. Some I like, some I hate. But that's "my" taste. I did have a Czech beer a week or two ago that I liked, but I forgot the name. It tasted like an American clean tasting (as Smaz put it "taste of nothing"), but I like that sometimes. It had a little more "kick" than an American light beer, but it tasted somewhat similar. |

I don't always want something so heavy plus beer with more taste doesn't always go with different foods. American pilsners are light and safe. |

Stop with the anti-capitalistic propaganda. With all the choices out there, nobody is forced to pick between "cat piss or dog piss". There is PLENTY of choice at any bar or store I have bought beer at, people don't have to buy "Bud". |

I just figured out how that happened. I was "thinking" Anheuser BUSCH, and was typing fast, and that is where the "Bush" came from...lol. |

LOL, my father saved a 6 pack of that because he thought it would be "worth" something one day. Personally I think he hid it far in the back of the cabinet because it tasted bad..... |

Sometimes I FEEL like that "nothing" light pilsner taste. There's nothing wrong with that. It's a "light" beer, and doesn't claim to be anything but that. |

I bash it for the OPPOSITE reason. I bash it because foreigners think that's how ALL US beers are when it's not true.A-B ruined any chance for a good American beer to make it abroad. Imagine what the reputation of good California wine would have been if Ripple or Thunderbird had been exported abroad and became synonymous with American "wine". That's what Bud did to America's reputation. |
