In the 1980's I was in, what was then Czechoslovakia. I was in Praha (Prague). I also visited Bratislava in what is now Slovakia, and I was in Ostrava the eastern part of Czech... A beer I enjoyed was Budvar. It pours dark yellow/golden, had an inch think white head and light carbonation. The smell is mildly grassy and a little sweet and the taste follows with the addition of a good maltiness and refreshing back of the mouth bitterness. It is what I would call a complex Pilsner. Overall, good , refreshing, crisp, tasty. I remember it being very good at the time.
But was it the beer, enjoyed at the time on tap in a beer garden in the country of origin, at the time I partook still behind an iron curtain. So was it the beer, or the time and place?
Then I came across it just a short time ago. Immediately pleasant memories arose. I had to buy it and drink one, alright, alright I bought 3, drank 3....
And the taste was good, memorable both in renewed memories of old, and a pleasant current experience. Thank you Budvar.
There was a little trepidation of course, because of thoughts of Anheuser-Busch. Because as you see on the label Budvar is brewed at the Budweiser brewery, but not Anheuser-Busch.
Is Budvar the same as Budweiser?
The dispute has been ongoing since 1907, and has involved more than 100 court cases around the world. As a result, Budweiser Budvar has the rights to the name Budweiser in most of Europe and Anheuser-Busch InBev has this rights in North America.
