The real Budweiser as far as 90% of the worldDoes not matter. The "real" Budwizzer beer dates to 1876. Budweiser Budvar dates to sometime in the 13th Century and was commercially produced from the 16th Century. That makes for a slight issue of precedence. Never mind that Adolphus Busch specifically named his beer for the Czech brew because of its notoriety within Bohemia and Bavaria. He even stole the marketing slogan for Budvar and changed it from "The Beer of Kings" into "The King of Beers". |

Major brands of American beer have a reputation, in the EU, as generally being lightweight crap that tastes awful. I'm surprised Trollog hasn't tied it in to some stupid political EU plot of the type he's always carrying on about. You now, the one's with hotlinks that no one reads.That being said. IMO, American beer, in general *is* crap.Budweiser, eeeeew. I do drink beer about once a month and it's never American mainstream swill.Some foreign brews, never Heineken, smells like skunk piss. Certain "high octane" malt liquors, yes, they achieve the desired result quickly. Joose is my current fave at almost 20 proof and up (9.9% alc. 20 proof!)it gets the job done, comes in about 8 flavors too! And available at all midtown, get this, Duane Reades in many flavors @ 3$ for a 24 oz cans. Rosa recently posted he tried Joose and was embarrassed that he liked it, I did the same based on his recommendation. |

The popularity of ANY beer produced by Coors mystifies me. Not to mention the company is a world wide leader in oppressing it's workers AND anti-union practices. They're like the Wal-Mart of beer companies. |

Yeah, I absolutely hate Coors, but used to like Molsen when I was in my 20's. I outgrew it, I know the taste you mean, as well as the aftereffect which I don't get with other beers (aside from Dutch). I do like Labatt's Blue - sometimes. Sometimes Canadian beers have a sort of sweet bite which I don't like either. |

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.That's precisely the issue German wine has in Britain. Thanks to the ghastly Blue Nun, there is a completely unfounded but extremely widespread prejudice against all German wine. |

No, the worst thing about it is that it tastes of nothing, but contains so many things that shouldn't be in any lager that drinking any quantity of it results in the mother of all hangovers. |

You reminded me of the perils of buying Stella Artois. At one point it came in two versions: the one that was made in Belgium and was actually a nice lager, and the one that was made under licence in Luton, England, and was absolutely dreadful. The only way of telling them apart was to see if a dreaded address in Luton appeared on the label. |

Actually, I don't like Dutch or Belgium beers. They are some of my least favorite "foreign" beers. I do like German beers (some of them).Well, the Dutch/Belgian (/Northern French) style is very different. I can see how someone could just not like it at all. I personally really enjoy many of those beers. And there is some terrific German stuff -- nothing beats a dark weissbier! |

"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. Agreed. It's one of those beers that is just pleasant. I could have a very happy evening in with a few bottles of the Czech stuff, some food, and something on the television. I could say the same for quite a few beers. |

I don't drink Bud often, but usually when I do have it, it's when I am having a lot of beer, and I never get a hangover from Bud. I get almost an instant hangover from Dutch beers.It seems though, it's sometimes the redish beers or the darker beers I get a hangover from. I like Killians, but it gives me a hangover if I have too much of it. But then again, I can drink the "red" beer at a local brewpub near me, their own version, and I don't. Go figure. |

From their history page it is apparent that Budvar was a commercialization of the former municipal brewing in what is now České Budějovice. Unfortunately whoever wrote the Wikipedia page misread the Budvar history page. |
