Budvar

Budvar, how to set this off, everytime I talk about it people get confused and mistake it for a budweiser spin off, history lesson 101 for you. its from Česk Budějovice (or in german Budweis) now lets get the record straight. Budweiser is nickname term for someone from the city of Budweis. budweiser is a cheap american intimadation rip off of the famous Czech original and somehow got commericial success...

Ive had both and let me tell you budweiser doesnt even come close to the superberness of the original Czech lager. ok its more expensive but considering its sourced the finest ingredients and clean water from wells over 300 metere deep the cost is easily justified and id buy it anyday. You can tell its the original and the best, look at the bottle you'll see it bares the coat of arms from the city of budweis unlike the intimdator thats actully brewed in USA? WRONG Belgium .. and im not biased here I love some belgium beers I really do.

The beer is delighfully crisp full of flavour with no nasty side affects, which you might get from some stronger grade lager) very aromatic and sips down a treat on any ocassion... a nice clean finish as well and always brings you back for more... I cant praise it enough go and get some yourself.. and if you dubious to my review look at the others, youll find many of them prasing including a review in a magazine where it won the award for best lager. Budvar really is the true King of beers! Accept no intimdations and try it yourself trust me you'll feel the same.

Budvar is excellent beer, great, refreshing. How lager should be! One thing the Czechs know about is making beer. Plzen is a town there which is the home to the original Pilsen, and then there is the Czech ORIGINAL Bubweiser or Budvar.

A great, flavoursome lager (though is actually relatively dark as lagers go). A refreshing taste, great in summer. In fact it's almost as good in an English back garden as it is in a pictruresque square in Prague. That's to say it travels well because it is only brewed in the Czech Republic and not in the UK under licence (like another Budweiser i could mention)

Available pretty widely in shops (they even have it in my local Co-Op and that's tiny), and in an increasing number of bars. On the down side it's exotic cache means that you will pay a bit more than you might for other premuim lagers especially in bottles. Also available on draught

My buddy Glenn introduced me to Budvar a few years ago now, and I much prefer it to the manky American product.

Budweiser is the name of a pilsner style beer brewed from as early as 1265 in the city of Ceske Budejovice(Czech Republic). The name Budweiser is derived from the German name for the town, Budweis. The town once held the accolade of being the royal brewer for the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire no less. Budweiser Budvar is produced in four varieties, although the regular red label is the most commonly found in the UK. The fermentation period for the red label is 72 days and has a rich taste of malt and Saaz hops. The beer is easily distinguishable from the Anheuser-Busch product which incorporates rice in it's brewing process. A bitter trademark dispute has raged between the American brewing giant and it's smaller Czech counterpart in recent times with Anheuser-Busch claiming that the Czech brewer had only been distributing Budweiser as a commercial brand since 1895, some 19 years after the Americans. The Czechs simply contend this with more than 700 years of heritage. In many countries only the beer produced by Budejovicky Budvar can be marketed as Budweiser and the Anheuser-Busch product is often marketed as "Bud", similarly in other countries the Czech product is marketed with the name Budvar or Budweiser Budvar. Budejovicky Budvar has limited distribution in the US under the name Czechvar, although it is not available in the home state of Anheuseur-Busch, Missouri.

True "king of beers", not the American fraud! Budvar is a gorgeous beer to be savoured, great flavour from those lovely Czechs!

Drinkers of the watery American imitation don't know what they're missing. Budvar is real Continental lager as it ought to be- tasty, strong and no messing about.

Budvar beer is the TRUE King of Beers. It has a wonderful taste and although not cheap it is good value for what you get. You have to drink a lot to get a hangover. My favourite beer!
