Budweiser Budvar is a fantastic beer, but Busch Budweiser actually came before it. The original Budweiser is apparently sold as "Burgerbrau" in the US, something I've never heard of.

- iuguy 16y agoThe article you've linked to says it's the other way around. The Burgerbrau Budweiser beer came before the Busch one and was exported to the US a year before Busch started marketing their version of Budweiser.
- vetinari 16y agoWhen talking about specific companies, yes, Busch was first. However, in this case, this is "regional trademark", the beer with this name was brewed in Budweis (Budejovice) long before the company was established. It is a name of the town, after all. The same way for Pilsner. "Pilsner Urquell" (Plzensky Prazdroj) is brewed in Pilsen (Plzen).
- cynicalkane 16y agoThe point is the identification of Budvar as "original" is misleading at best. A better word would be "authentic".
