yeh Budvar is good beer BUD though is best used for washing the toilet

As an American I think dishwater is indeed far too kind.

As a Dane I have walked much in Belgium and have tasted a lot of Belgian beer also, by that! And that a Belgian based Brewery Group has now bought American, Budweiser may change the kind of "Dishwashing Liquid" which is now produced and called Beer in the US! 😄

I'm a brit, and I can agree with you 100%

@@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 doubt it American barley is different and when brewed by European methods it made a cloudy not good beer so they use far less barley and use rice in the beer to make american style beers this produces far less taste in the beer the only solution is to import all of the barley required which would be to expensive ( and push up prices of our beer as well)

If you ever visit us again try Radegast. You can recommend me some German beer if you want to.

@@sitrueis4007 Try some beer from the Frankonian region (Bamberg, Nuremberg). There is a lot of variety and even some craft beer, if you like.

You should invade them and teach them your ways.

@@exoroxx I travel all over Germany on business and the best beer I drank was in Baden-Württemberg, it was in that corner near Basel. 33cl blue bottle, local brewery. And I really love your wheat beer. I'm from Budweiz, by the way.

Amen to that, my Teutonic friend.

Yes that is how beer looks to us but not them. Cheers from Jihlava !

As a Brit', one of the Polish lads that worked for me introduced me to Perla. Bloody good stuff, although the Mocna version can get a litte heavy?

​@@johnp8131mocna means strong in Polish, so yes 😅

In 🇩🇪 I think we only get Tyskie..🇵🇱

Tyskie is considered piss. Perła Strong is only ok Polish beer currently. Rest is terrible, there used to be few decent but to cut cost they changed it to the point it's almost like American beer so undrinkable. There are some extremely good craft beers here but they are expensive and hard to find in shps. I personally completely switched to Czech beer, Budweiser and Holba mainly.

@@martinkasper197 Polish guy here. Last time I visited Germany (November 2023), the only Polish beers I saw there were those that are considered piss tier, It makes no sense to me that they export only the worst beers to Germany :(

That’s what I’m afraid of 😅 I know I’d love it there

@@IWrocker And after the Czech Brewery Tour, Tatra Brewery Tour through Austria until MAN Trucks, further on KAT 8x8 Tour from Brewery to Brewery until Mercedes-Benz Truck and from there Unimog Tour into Belgium to taste Grimbergen Double. With tastings on every Brewery. Than you are healed once and for all of that Rusty US Drinking Water

@@mariokuppers5686 After Belgium bring @iWrocker to the UK for more excellent beer. He'd need a guide because there is some rubbish being made as well.

@@IWrocker then we should not tell you about the price :) Pint is cheaper than fresh water in restaurants here :)

Pilsner Urquell will be SAB Miller for a while... go away with this.

People complain about Svijany, Kozel and others, but compared to common US beers they are probably still good.

@@keenmate9719 That's more like some Czech tradition, to complain about how some beer is terrible, don't take it seriously. 😀 I personally don't like Pilsner Urquell which is considered our the best beer, but it's that bitter that I have problem to finish first glass and I always terribly vomit from that, I prefer lighter beers, like Budvar or Radegast, but "beer nazis" would call these beers a pisswater.

@@Pidalin and now imagine, you are a czech that dont drink alcohol at all and finds beer yuck :-)) I'm super fun at parties

@@keenmate9719 I almost don't drink, because I hate vomiting and that lost time second day, I mostly drink like few times in year during some events, festivals etc...and yes, it's pretty hard to deny alcohol in this country where most of people are alcoholics who don't care that you will go vomit when they force you to drink another beer.

Tak to neznáš Starobrno....

I love how every year more smaller bars in Berlin now sell tapped Urquell. I love it.

And the reason you don't mention "Bud's" aftertaste is...there is none! Absolutely dead on the palate. One of two beers I just won't drink, along with Carling of the wierd metalic aftertaste.

Ireand, Sweden, Finland and Spain have a lot of explaining to do.

It's a little like someone who went to Italy and then returned to the US to open "Italian-style coffee houses".

The Budweiser Budvar is the only authentic original.

The Czech brewery Budweiser Budvar was only founded in 1895, when Budweiser beer was already introduced to the US, namely in 1876. You can see it easily by the name. Budweiser is German. The Czech name is Budějovice - which is obviously not the origin of the American name "Budweiser", which was inspired by the much older German brewery in this town. Since the Czechs killed or expelled all German inhabitants in 1945, I think they lost the right to claim the German name Budweis for their town and its products. They should only sell stuff named after Budějovice, not Budweis.

​@@thkempeThe town was granted the right to brew beer by the King of Bohemia. Whether there are any German speakers living here today will not change the history of the town and its right to brew beer. Every resident of the town (with sufficient capital) had the right to brew beer and it was entirely up to them what they named their beer. Yes Czech towns and villages also have German and Latin equivalents or transcriptions as these were the official languages of the Bohemian Crown Lands throughout history. So it is purely up to the local brewery whether they choose Czech, German or Latin for their beer (in this case they ended up choosing both Czech and German). I understand that this can be confusing for someone who is historically used to only one language, but for a long time Czechs used three languages equally, this changed only in the 18th century when German took over and then in the 20th century when Czech took over, but that doesn't mean that the historical equivalents of town names have stopped being valid and that a Czech can never use them, after all they are still the same towns of our ancestors. Of course, naming American beer after a Czech city is a bit flawed, but one could understand it if it wasn't the biggest spit in the face this historic beer city could have received, namely naming a piss after it. Being from Budweis, I demand compensation for the insult to the town and its inhabitants, and demand that they immediately repair reputation of town by either stopping making beer or associating it with the town (hence the renaming) or start making beer of sufficient quality to deserve the name after the beer city of bohemian kings and princes.

Yeah Plisner Urquell is also good.

@@fladder64 My favourite is Radegast. If you ever visit Prague, try Únětice.

If german praise our beer that is great, because german beers are top notch . Me personaly tried many european beers but ours, germans and polish are the best. Of course slovakian too, but sorry to all slovaks - I still count you as our brothers so you are a part of family.

@@palanides5081 Well, there may be Germans that wont agree with me but as far as i am concerned the Czechs are world champions of beer. My favorite is Staropramen tapped from the cage. I guess Gambrinus is Czech? Thats also a very nice beer.

@@ristorantanen5769 yes and yes. Yet for some your beer with sprite is weird but many like it - i do. We are neighbors for more than 1400 years, of course we do like each other food and drinks. Lets recreate Sacrum Imperium Romanum and leave EU behind?

@@palanides5081 You mean Radler? I never touch it I only drink beer water and coffee. Yeah, EU seem to be coming to an end. We the ppl need to stick together or we might wake up in a totalitarian state one day soon. But what ever comes its nice to have good neighbors, especially when they have excellent beer. 🤗

Danke nachbar.

Budvar has actual Czech owners (actually it's owned by the state), Pilsner Urquell is changing ownership every few years..

another story all about you

Woah cool! Hello 😎🎉

Pißwasser to be precise 😊

I think this is an offence. To be precise, I think my pisswater is not that bad as Budweiser.

I guess the Americans are following the tradition of their English ancestors

Chcanky. Thats the right czech word :D

Nah Pisswater is Coors and Miller. Budweiser US is even below

Budvar very popular in Scotland. Very nice.

A-H has a complex that they are a "pretend Budweiser", so they are hellbent on legitimizing their claim to be the "original". This explains the multiple lawsuits costing them a pretty penny trying to own Budweiser Budvar, and I do not doubt that if they were successful, they would raze it to the ground.

Also, there was move to privatise Budvar, but it was decided against it, because it was obvious that AB would do anything to obtain it.

Anheuser-Busch purchased the other brewery from our city Budweis (České Budějovice, yes we have two large breweries in a 100k city), The brewery is called Samson, but originally they were called the Budweiser city brewery - Budweiser Bürgerbräu (BB) in german. There was a lot of renaming and splitting, but simply put, Anheuser-Busch owns this brewery. The other one, Budweiser Budvar, is fully owned by the country, Czechia.

It is the most sold Czech lager in the UK @@papalaz4444244

ich erwarte von einem heutigen Deutschen (im Grunde ists anderswo nicht besser, teilweise eher noch schlechter) nicht unbedingt viele Geschichtskenntnisse, aber dass so gut wie alles Bier aus Czech (und nicht nur von dort) irgendwie nicht slawisch klingt, sondern eher deutsch sollte mit etwas Mustererkennung schon auffallen. Also ueben wir mal: klingt Lager, Pilsner, Budweiser, Anhaeuser-Busch irgendwie slawisch? Falls nicht, wer koennte das alles kreiert haben? Na? Naechste Uebung: wieso haben Frankreich/France, Frankfurt, Frankenstein, Franken in Bavaria etc. alle den gleichen Namen intus?

Oh cool! I didn’t find that one earlier

Potíž je, jak se dostalo do médií o prodeji. Síce to zatím utichlo, ale stejně, kdyby se prodávalo, dobře by to nedopadlo.

nemre se ona njihova pofarbana voda mjeriti sa Budwarom. Pozdrav iz Hrvatske

I believe there was a large Czech dispora in Chicago. Most of the Americans of Czech and Moravian descent who emigrated to America settled there.

​@@ondrejvasak1054 Like even one of the well known mayors of Chicago was called Cermak.

It's not $12.49 for a bottle, it's $12.49 for six 12 oz bottles. So each of them costs approximately $2.08 (which is still expensive, don't get me wrong). I'm used to low beer prices here in Germany. We even get the 'good Czech stuff' like Budweiser or Pilsner Urquell a lot cheaper here than in the Czech Republic though it has to be exported.

They make some pretty good beers in the states just not lagers and they ussualy don't make it out of the states. And i'm Dutch so not an americane (or spanisch or italian).

I stayed at Westmalle abbey in the early 2000s before they started charging high lodging prices. They have a separate operation brewing the beer and it's become a bit common. I still like the dubbel and buy it now and again.

Love Orval. Really nice

Awesome!!! Thank You 🎉

Bin to Westvleteren abby to taste the beer one of the better ones I had till this day, and yeah to this day the main source to get this beer is the abby.

delirium tremens? :-D i know how that taste next day and i dont like it :-D

"Budejovicky" means the same thing, just different language.

@branofilipovic9608 I know, it's just a different look to the label with the longer title

Funnily the lack of "progress" in factory brewing during communism saved the original brewing methods :D

@@JanHejn may or may not be true. Czechs are fanatical about beer. Even in communist times they would have digital temperature indicators hung above the bar for the customers. Dozens of brewmasters have lost their jobs due to takeovers. Staropramen was one of the victims. Luckily many micro breweries have taken the slack, but cannot compensate the volume.

Don't forget the german beer. And I don't mean the worldwide sold brands like Becks. You should stick more to the local breweries or those only sold in 🇩🇪 and Austria.

@@martinkasper197 whenever we discuss 'the best', the differences are very small, and subjectively many people may put Germany in the top 2. Not an easy choice.

@@terryross1754 In fact, Pilsner Urquell, Kozel and Radegast are all owned by the Japanese company Asahi and it works well and without change - the Japanese understand tradition. But Budweiser/Budvar is a different story - if the US BUD got their hands on it, they'd shut it down - the lawsuits have cost them too much money so far...

Awesome! Good to know, there’s tons of Binny’s stores around me 🎉😎

@@IWrocker While you're there, you might as well pick up some Sinebrychoff Porter and Kyrö Gin. I would also recommend Hartwall Original Long Drinks if you can find them somewhere.

town is called Ceske Budejovice, which can be translated into Czech Budwies (german name) and Budvar is combination of words BUDejovice a VARit (to cook, can be borderline used as to brew)

It is still the German name

@@bananenmusli2769 it indeed is

@@wakda More like Böhmisch Budweis (Bohemian Budweis) as the region was known as Böhmen (Bohemia) while part of the various primarily German-speaking Austrian realms and -- even longer -- as part of the Holy Roman Empire before.

As a Czech villager i buy Kozel beer here from our Vietnamese store for about $0,55 /0,5l(17 freedom oz units) and i will get back $0,12 for bottel. Probably similar to German brothers. PS: And those are only 12oz oh god.

@@DaweSlayer 0.5 litres or 0.33 litres depends on the type of beer. Normally beer is in 0.5 litre bottles. Only Pils, Altbier or Kölsch are in 0.33 l bottles. What I drank, when I was in Czech Republic was Gambrinus. I liked it a lot. But you can't get it in Germany. Here you only get Pilsener Urquell or Budweiser (the Original).

Staropramen is our worst beer. :-D

Back in the seventies we used to occasionally get a taxi or two on a Sunday, from RAF Honnington to Shepherds Grove, a USAF families club near RAF Wattisham. I'm afraid we could only get US Budweiser and Schlitz but back then, as it was one of the few places we could get a beer of sorts on a Sunday afternoon? Started to learn more about Czech beer etc......surprisingly when at Scampton before I was posted to Brüggen for the first time, as there was an excellent off licence in Lincoln that even sold continental bottld beers and even draught ales!
