Budweiser - Beer, Other - Reviews & Comments

This is the famous Budweiser Beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive beachwood aging produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price.

Can somebody please email me how many case of Bud are produced each year? A formal breakdown would be great and also where these figures can be verified Many thanks.......peter

What the hell is wrong with people. If folks like Budweiser then let them drink it!!! Not everyone has the same tastes!

this beer tastes like water you may as well call it water instead of beer

i lived in the US for awhile and believe me, i tried to drink Bud to see if it really has that bad reputation...and it does. So many great things to say about that country that gave me a lot of friends and beautiful experiences. I love the US, but what happened with the beer ? Please, Bud is awful, not to say other brands. It is not worse only because they have a lack of ambition when they make it. The worse beer i have ever tried. Nice american beer is what you want? go for the local breweries, specially the ones in Colorado.

Czechvar (Budweiser Budvar) Budvar Ceske Budejovice, Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, $2.99 / 500 ml bottle For millions of Canadians, the name “Budweiser” is synonymous with the watered-down, American corporate behemoth masquerading as a beer. What they likely don’t know is that the name is stolen goods. It was legally sanctioned, but theft nonetheless. Back in 1265, a groundbreaking Czech brewer in a small town the Germans called Budweis (Ceské Budejovice) crafted a lager. It was nothing like the darker, heavier brews made at the time. The beer was so original and so delicious that the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire christened its maker as his royal brewery. Along with the title, the Emperor guaranteed for all time that only beer made in this small town could carry the name “Budweiser.” For hundreds of years, Budweiser Budvar, one of the best lagers in the world, came out of this town. Unfortunately, no one told the Americans. In 1876, Anheuser-Busch began brewing its own golden lager, labelled it “Budweiser,” and within a few decades it became the biggest selling beer in the world. Today, no beer comes close to matching the yearly sales of Anheuser-Busch’s “Bud.” With corporate power came the corporate bully. Anheuser-Busch launched a lawsuit against the makers of Budweiser Budvar, claiming copyright infringement. The case lingered for decades. Though their legal position was weak, Bud’s team of high-priced lawyers was mighty. In the end, a threatened boycott of Czech hops (hops is a key agricultural staple for the Czech Republic and Anheuser-Busch is its single largest buyer) was enough to force the Czech government to cave. A 700-year-old beer was forbidden in North America. The beer resurfaced as Czechvar. It can be found in Edmonton liquor stores without its historical name, but with its former glory intact. Czechvar possesses a light gold colour, with a rich white head. It presents a soft, grainy malt flavour and aroma balanced by a rounded bitterness. Neither quality dominates, as it should be. Its texture is medium-bodied and almost velvety. It dries out at the end, as the grainy sweetness fades away while the bitterness lingers. Czechvar is more understated than its famous cousin, Pilsner Urquell, and beer drinkers are divided on which is a finer version of the Bohemian Pilsner style. Personally, I prefer the more distinct floral hop characteristics of Pilsner Urquell over the more muted Czechvar. But I will still take a real “Bud” over the American monstrosity any day. V

To the person who said they were shocked to see people in England drinking this piss, believe me, it's even harder for me, as an Englishman. Some of us here still fight for the good stuff. I love my beer, LOVE it, anything as long as it's real. Real ale or bitter, by choice, but proper lagers (ie. ones not brewed by the corporations in the UK) like Budvar are a delight too. It makes me wince seeing the number of people drinking Fosters and Carling and Carlsberg and Budweiser and all that crap. Brings a tear to your eye.

pathetic... does this pass as a beer? stupid americanization :(

Upon arival to ENG i was shocked to see english people drinking it. For a people so proud of their beer, I didnt understand how they could drink such crap. I wont drink it in the states nevermind abroad. Ive seen it everywhere in the world. Can anyone say americanization???? terrifying.

Quality! It doesn't sell like hot-cakes because it tastes bad! I've drank many brands of beer; dark & light. This stuff wins. Catch ye!

Ah....fresh Budweiser.....tasty and delicious. St. Louis residents have a third tap on their faucets just for Budweiser. Imagine the great American idea of bigger and more is better and apply that concept to beer and you get Budweiser. Thus you get the biggest mass produced beer in the entire world (and the water comes from the Mississippi...and the St. John's in Jacksonville). Budweiser is McDonald's as beer. It tastes the same everywhere. Strict quality control ensures that. So what does Budweiser taste like? Kinda boring flavor but not bad. It's everyday beer. It's not a very memorable beer.....except for it's omnipresent iconic marketing. It really is aged in tanks containing beechwood strips which give it a very smooth taste but Budweiser is a beer for when you need lots of beer rather than when you want to drink a really fine beer.

Bud is an affordable, tasty, full body beer and you aristicratic sons of bitchess can stick you imported bs up your asses

A commercial, tasteless mixture.

Ingredients to make Budweiser: Take water from the ghetto Add yellow food coloring Add carbonation Add thimble full of alcohol per 50 gallons Mix together and serve cold. You will have a tasteless concoction of strange ingredients for the pallet of those in the populace who have no idea what an enjoyable full bodied tasteful brew is like to consume.

If you drink enoughof the real Bud from the czech republic, this is what comes out.

Disgusting concoction of gas and chemicals, the sort of thing you are happy to spill!

Fun to knock but, in my opinion, not as bad as people claim. I've drunk the best and the worst and Bud isn't really either and darned if it doesn't taste good when it's super cold and you haven't had one in a while. It takes certain moods for me but it ain't the bottom of the barrel. I've had Budweiser around the world and it stands up at least acceptably against local beers in Russia, South America, Asia, etc. I gave it a 5....no better, no worse.

For them even to use the name "Budweiser" is an insult to the real Budweiser Budvar. "Bud" won beer of the year in some magazine (FHM i think) - no idea how

This beer is awful. People actually like this stuff?

To call this beer-flavoured water would be a compliment, as there is certainly no beer taste to speak of. Bland, lifeless, and totally devoid of character, it is a triumph of marketing, but a complete failure as a beer!!

This is so called fake beer!

Sorry - I cant drink that suff.

WHat can I say Budweiser is absolutely disgusting (average by American standards) but it continues to sell in disgraceful numbers mostly to image conscious twats
