You Man are great. You really have a knowledge. Yes Budějovický Budvar or Budweiser Budvar is really great beer, original, not like that funny american coloured lemonade.
Being a czech and being a beer lover, I'll ad something...
Tapping. It makes half of the taste. You can't have REALLY good beer unless it is tapped AND by someone skilled, using the right equipment. While beer is usually worse when bottled, it can happen that if they tap it and do it wrong with bad equipment, it may be even worse.. So you gotta find a right pub with skilled barman.
It is not snobism. This is beer and not vine - it really makes huge difference in taste.
just have one the best of the beer!!2.20$ on sale!!!I DRINK THAT SINCE 1990 this is the best beer in the world@!!i lovit its on sell now in Canada ontario,but i drink that at my homeland in Jihlava and Brno too,i will never forget!!another good beer is Starobrno!!fucking good beer!!
I was born in Ceske Budejovice. Your pronunciation is even better than mine after a few Budvars :) Budweiser is the best beer on the world. The only one real Budweiser. Americans have no right to call their frothless piss Budweiser. This beer can be made only in Ceske Budejovice, because there are special 300 meters deep water wells called Arthesian wells. These were drilled in 1922 and contains highly pure and quality water. Using this water during production of the beer gets Budvar THAT TASTE
haha Iam Czech ,..use to live in the States for a long time and once little bit drunkie from Budweiser ,I called them 1-800 ..and talking about ..they stolen name ,not original ,Adolfus Busch took the name.- Budejovice - in german Budweis- bier from the city is Budweiser....I was talking about that ,and the guy sent me a Bus girls posters :-)haha
well BUDVAR is my favourite,fresh on the t
and YOU --PRONOUNCE CESKE BUDEJOVICE - very good even with the local accent !!!
Budweiser and Pilsner are both great ones... if daring to compare with the us Budweiser then i definitely have a loser on my list... wont talk about trade mark issues....
I LOVE YOU MAN, but you don't taste nothing if you don't taste Krausened Budvar - much better version of Budweiser Budwar, much better than Pilsner. I know what I say, I'm very sophisticated beer-lover from Czech, land of beer, strictly speaking from Budweis (České Budějovice).
@byWondra czechvar sounds so fuckin hilarious... effin americans thinks that they made budweiser first even though they were only indians in US in that time our beer was made...
Great - I like them (Original Budvar and original Guiness) both a lot. Instead of swapping. Drink them both! Now I guess the Budejovicky budvar you mentioned is really the same as what I am tasting which is the original budweiser from Ceske Budjovice. Am I correct to say that?
i love budejovicky budvar mmmmm im irish and id swap a guinness for it any day and guess what lol IM DRINKIN IT NOW. if you have never tried this u are missing out lol.
The original Budweiser Bier or Budweiser Bürgerbräu, was founded in 1785 in Budweis, Bohemia, which at the time was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The company began exporting to the US in 1871[2]. [3]. In the U.S., Anheuser-Busch started using the Budweiser brand in 1876 and registered it two years later.
@michaelyblam You don't know how to taste beer, but nice pronunciation of Ceske Budejovice ;-) I suggest you to NOT roll the beer in your mouth while tasting otherwise you make in your mouth foam! That's no good. You're tasting it like wine - that's no good.
more preciously: Bohemia is older name for Czechia, which was main part of the Czech kingdom since the 12th century (and before that part of the Czech dukedom) called The Lands of the Czech Crown (shortly the Czech Kingdom)officialy and which was independent souvereignt state in opened something like confederation called Holy Roman Empire to 1806 and later part of the conglomerate called Habsburgs´ Monarchy since 1867 Austria-Hungaria
Actually the American lager was originally brewed as an imitation of the famous Czech original but over time has developed its own identity and attained remarkable commercial success.
also someone asked it comes in cans as they dont like the bottles, yes it does come in cans
What Czech original? Was AB able to predict the future in 1876 to know what Buvar was going to be like when it comes out in 1895, and that use that prediction to imitate at? Baffling!
True - BUT, no country has more diversity in its styles of beer than the US. The UK comes second - no other country can touch the US and UK in the diversity of our stsyles of beer.
How can you say that beer snobs only drink ales? I don't understand how you came up with this ridiculous conclusion , and btw black and tans are not a type of beer.
I' NOT anti-American beer nor football. I am anti-anywhere junk beer. Many beers are simply FANTASTIC fm America! Yes! I MIUCH MUCH prefer rugby than American football (Somewhat boring with all the stoppages + commericals during the game) but I try to appreciate the 'positives' out of anything. I am sure the American footballers put in much 'blood and sweat' (trainings and efforts) and the games does have many tactics. I am currently drinking American beer...Rogue, Lost Coast, Green Flash...
Cheers to you and good health! BTW, I am not European but I do have triple citizenships - Hong Kong, Great Britain as well as Canada. Lived in both England and Scotland for 14 years and learnt how to appreciate beer and whisky/whiskey before I started wine!
I love this friggin beer...Bud makes me wanna skak it right outta my nose, but for some sick reason I kinda like Bud lite..sometimes..mainly after I've already had about 8 or 9 mixed drinks and/or way too many shots of jager...I like to keep my fridge stocked with Czechvar, Pilsner Urquell, Harpoon IPA, an assortment of flavored vodkas, and for those wicked hot summer nights, Pacifico..cuz Corona is just Mexican Pabst..yuck!
The truth is that the vast majority of popular beers don't even deserve to be called beer. You know what the #1 ingredient in brewing American budweiser is? Rice! Wow that doesn't sound like beer to me. It's all just watery, flavourless crap which has been marketted to the point where so many people don't even know there are alternatives.
American Budweiser-1876.Budweiser Budvar-1895 -> TRUE but Ceske Budejovice in German is Budweis is a city in the Czech Republic. It is the largest city in the South Bohemian Region and is the political and commercial capital of the region. The city was founded by Hirzo, a knight of King Ottokar II of Bohemia, and was granted its Municipal charter in 1265. The name Budweiser is 'stolen' from Budweis. The style of beer has been brewing there for centuries before the establishment of the brewery.
Thank you for your comment. Let me clarify...first of all, I have ABSOLUTELY NO intention to take down any BIG COMPANIES. I take down BIG companies that brew rubbish and I also take down small / micro / cottage breweries that make rubbish too. Conversely, I welcome and praise any big companies that go about to make great drinks. Both Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser Budvar are gigantic companies. Hope you get my point. Now...
There is no green bottle taste you dopey git, thats the taste of a real beer, go back to drinking the pee style of Budweiser and leave the real beer for those who can handle it.
You're a joke. You wouldn't know a "real beer" if if bit you in the ass. My beer is Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale - believe me, I wouldn't dog someone out over a lager. Whether or not someone can "handle" a beer is only a question when it comes to ales.
Czechvar is shit. If this beer didn't have the "rebel" reputation of being known as "the real Budweiser" - if this beer was NEVER known as Budweiser Budvar, none of you motherfuckers would give this beer a second look as it sits on the shevles
Kid, let me suggest something to you: if you want to appear smarter than the person that you're saying "knows shit," then you might want to state why you think that this is the case, and then offer the "true" information that corrects the information that you believe is "false."
Looking at your lack of good communication skills, I'd say that not only would you get murdered in a contest against me in beer knowledge, but you don't seem to be a very bright person in general.
chill out, beer in České BUDĚJOVICE(Bohemian/Czech Budweis) has been made since the early medieval age, at the time when even any USA didn´t exist, just company Budvar(Bud) brewery company was founded later than US producer of mosquito´s swipes but that´s all, US producer of mosquito´s swipes just stole the geographical name
because some Germans from the Czechlands ärrived in USA and started to produce Czech style beer and called that after České Budějovice town (Tschechische Budweis).For sure the US producer of mosquito´s swipes is in an US České Budějovice town, for sure hahah(sarkasm)
You dumb ass - Budweiser Budvar didn't exist until 1895. If you don't know shit about it, that's on you. Quit being a fucking tool and think for yourself
you and the guy in the video knows nothing about beer...that shit about honey and hops...I dont know who is more stupid...I cant understand that so many people can believe this...THE ONLY TRUE BUDVAR IS FROM CZECH REPUBLIC...medieval age...take a look in wikipedia or anywhere!!! Czechs and Germans are the only two nations that can cook beer...so shut up you little fag you know nothing about that..
You're right, the only true Budvar comes from Czech Repulic - because there's no beer anywhere else called "Budvar" you fucking moron!
Face it - the only thing that comes out of Czech Republic are pilsners. Out of Germany comes that, schwarzbiers, and bocks (and the varying types of bocks).
Here in America, we've got that - and all types of pale ales (American, IPA's, brown, etc), porters, black and tans, you name it). America is the only self-sufficient country when it comes to beer.
If it's the end, then why don't you shut the fuck up and get lost?
Let's see... I've mentioned EIGHT different styles of beer, and the countries that produce them - you only mentioned ONE - the only one that comes out of Czech Republic. I'm actually displaying some knowledge. You're not - all you're doing is stating that someone doesn't know something, without countering what they say with your own knowledge - because you have none to counter it it.
black and tan is a mix of beer not a beer style. research BJCP guidelines. There are so many flaws in what you are saying. Australia beer culture is very much like the states as you put it actually the craft beer scene throughout the world is exactly how you put it. Germany are known for helles and rauchbier and all other sorts as well you just are too ignorant to know that.
You know something? I'll be the bigger man and retract PART of what I said - basic and adjunct lagers, and I'll include pilsner style, since they're not too far off.
Someone who's been drinking Coors their whole lives can drink a Czechvar easily. However, hand them a schwarzbier - or ANY ale, and watch them cower.
listen to this fag, flowery, biscuity honey. where the hell is he getting this shit? Plus the hops are not from bavaria(germany), they are from bohemia(czech).
You are right. I never knew I said Bavarian - my mistake. It should be Bohemian...but I am not a fag. Nose the beer closely, it's a floral, dry biscuit and a faint sweet honey.
Budějovický Budvar. In germany It's Budweiser Budvar, Budweiser means Budejovicky. And I've never ever heard, that in USA there are some Budejovice town, but perhaps I'm wrong....
They stole the name of the beer and in these days, they are stealing culture and lives... Its "realy great" country... criminals....
I hate what American lagers i've tasted with all respect. I hate how that American company fucked over the true company and had the nerve to give it the slogan "King of beers" Grrrr
It´s Budweiser Budvar...His history was gone to the 13. century...for the first time I heard the Czechvar...in Czech rep.
we have only this kinds : Budweiser Budvar premium lager, Budweiser Budvar pale beer, Budweiser Budvar premium dark lager and Bud super strong...Czechvar is a export mark...
Czechvar = ORIGINAL Budvar but it's absolutely not the popular American Budweiser Budvar which is a commercial junk beer. In my opinion, the best larger / pilsner style beer is still brewed from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It's the quality well water, Saaz hop (also named Zatec in Czech), select Moravian malt, and original Budvar yeast that make the brew special. It's very hard to beat a quality brew like this!
Thank you my drinking pal. Love this beer especially when I had it in the former Czechoslovakia long time ago drinking the fresh version. It was heavenly - very floral, balance, pure, clean, tasty and refreshing...
are Budvar and Czechvar the same? Kinda confused...once I get which of these two is the real deal, I will go to a specialty store or a world market and get it there I guess.
Budweiser Budvar and Czechvar are two names of the same product made in the same place. Can you imagine that there in America would be two budweiser brands? As well as I can't imagine that there would be another budweiser in the Czech Republic.
Budvar is the best, it is the original, the hops are grown in the Bohemian region and are Zatec (in Czech), and made from extremely soft water in Ceske Budejovice.
There is indeed a sharp difference between the original and the sorrines that Americans like me are subjected to through ads etc. Coor's is even worse. :(
budvar is an amazing lager. it's one of my favourites and is becoming more popular here in the uk. there is also a dark budvar that is made with toasted hops and a wider variety of hops. it is very very dark and has full satisfying flavour but is incredibly refreshing and easy to drink. it's harder to get hold of but i recommend to any beer lover.
Thanks for the tips! I know and heard about the dark larger but sadly we do not get it here. Our liquor system is very much provincial government run so it can be tricky to get qualitry stuffs (we do get quality seasonal stuffs from time to time). I will see if I can get from Washinton State the dark version to taste.
Anheuser-Busch Inc. concerning the distribution of Czechvar beer has been proving productive
České Budějovice, 16th July 2007 -- B.B.N.P.'s commenced cooperation with the key player on the American market - the Anheuser-Busch Inc., took effect with considerable sales increase of pale lager, which is sold in the USA under the Czechvar trademark.
I was priviledged to drink this for the first time when I was given two bottles of Budvar to carry with me on a train ride from Karlovy Vary to Prague in October 1988. Great Beer!
Stay away from Budweiser-the drag queen of beers- unless you're looking for a forgettable experience.
all ive ever had is the american beers such as budlight coors natural light... what would yall say on those? and hows the taste compared to all those names that ive never heard of?
In my humble opinion, both Bud Light, Coors Light , Miller Light are pure junk beer. They are completely tasteless fermented adjunts that have no characters nor personalities...life is too precious to drink inferior stuffs...
I can't help but agree. I generally classify BMC(Bud-Miller-Coors) as fizzy yellow water. I'll admit that I started out drinking that stuff, but trying out different microbrews got me started on exploring the huge world of fine beers.
I am very proud of you. Sipping Microbrews is a great start but do explore the different styles from all corners of the world. There are before dinner beer, after dinner beer, winter warmers, summer coolers, Spring blossoms, Fall comforters, morning beer, afternoon beer...Life is too precious...don't deny yourself drinking bad stuffs!
Was in Prague 4 years ago. Budvar is the best and is the real Budweiser. Poured with a head from tap, it was inexpensive, tasting, and extremely delicious. I can't believe they had a long court battle with American Budweiser for the name. The lawyers apparently produced 1000 page documents without resolution--go figure, right?!
Czech style Pilsner as well as larger are head and shoulder above all especially when you can have them fresh on draft. You are a lucky guy! Some beer you have to drink them fresh like a pint of Guiness/Murphy's/Beamish in Ireland but others have to be aged like an old barley wine from England...
I was in Prague 4 years ago, and I LOVE the Budweiser or Budvar. It was inexpensive, poured with a head, and extremely delicious. I can't believe they had a long court fight with the American Budweiser for the name--there is no contest!!! Budvar is the best!!!
Just been to Prague in the Czech republic where I Drank alot of good czech beer. Think my favorite one gotta be urquell. Very interesting videos by the way
Well done only one admit I wouldnt drink it in that glass with leg, thats for wine or belgium beer but herein czech we drink in glass [.5 L] But you pronounced the name of the town very good. Anyway my faveourtie brand is Krusovice.
Ah! I TOTALLY AGREE with you. I do NOT DRINK beer with wine glasses. I only TASTE beer with them. These Riedel glasses are ideal for tasting. Firstly, as a professional, I get them cheap/free so I don't care if I break them and I have about 60 of them; secondly, they are transparent, small and have a bulb shape that traps the aromas -> perfect for tasting. Otherwise who would drink beer with wine glasses!
I like all of them!!! It's like different flavours of ice cream. Sometimes I like plain Vanilla other times I like something a little different! Excellent beers they brew in Czech / Slovakia. Well done!
hey...im czech guy and i agree with you that budvar is good beer but in my opinion is little bit sweet...i prefer Gambrinus its from Pilsner bewery as well as Pilsner Urquell...Michael, try Gambrinus....but im affraid that in north america isnt possible to get it...maybe 12 degress but im affraid not
Don't taste Gambrinus beer. Otherwise it is Czech beer but it's the same shit like Heineken or Bud. It shit beer from S.A.B. I'm from Czech Republic, trust me.
Ironically Michael, Budvar tastes hoppier and fresher from bottles than the tap. Maybe they hop it up so it stays tasty on the shelf longer or for export, but sadly that nice distinct fresh taste disappears in the pub here. It becomes quite an average tasting lager to be honest. The unfiltered version is hard to find but excellent however, as is Budvar Dark.
Well! I tasted both the Budvar and Pilsner Urquell on tap in Prague back in 1991 - sadly I cannot remember to compare between bottled version and tap version. Perhaps someone whould sponsor me to come along to Czech Rep. again! Love to try Budvar Dark for sure!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't post this comment to at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days. Copy and paste this, to be saved
Savvysymbiont...I wanted to write more but youtube restrict me to 500 characters. These glasses are far better to taste than most beer glasses/whisky tumblers. They have the right shape, the perfect volume, good price/quality ratio...
1.The glasses I use are the Riedel Overture red wine glasses. I managed to secure 20+ glasses for $5 each; 2.Unlike inferior glasses, the rim of these glasses are smooth so they don't have a 'kick' thus the liquid flow directly into the mouth which is important in tasting; 3. The glasses have the perfect volume which I usually fill up to 1/4 of the glass; 4.The bulb shape of the glasses mean they trap the aromas so are suitable to nose beer/wine/whiskies.
You Man are great. You really have a knowledge. Yes Budějovický Budvar or Budweiser Budvar is really great beer, original, not like that funny american coloured lemonade.

I am currently drinking American beer...Rogue, Lost Coast, Green Flash...

I love this friggin beer...Bud makes me wanna skak it right outta my nose, but for some sick reason I kinda like Bud lite..sometimes..mainly after I've already had about 8 or 9 mixed drinks and/or way too many shots of jager...I like to keep my fridge stocked with Czechvar, Pilsner Urquell, Harpoon IPA, an assortment of flavored vodkas, and for those wicked hot summer nights, Pacifico..cuz Corona is just Mexican Pabst..yuck!

I wish it was more widely distributed here in the US. American Budweiser should not be even called beer.
pen80 2 years ago
The truth is that the vast majority of popular beers don't even deserve to be called beer. You know what the #1 ingredient in brewing American budweiser is? Rice! Wow that doesn't sound like beer to me. It's all just watery, flavourless crap which has been marketted to the point where so many people don't even know there are alternatives.

American Budweiser-1876.Budweiser Budvar-1895 -> TRUE but Ceske Budejovice in German is Budweis is a city in the Czech Republic. It is the largest city in the South Bohemian Region and is the political and commercial capital of the region. The city was founded by Hirzo, a knight of King Ottokar II of Bohemia, and was granted its Municipal charter in 1265. The name Budweiser is 'stolen' from Budweis. The style of beer has been brewing there for centuries before the establishment of the brewery.
michaelyblam 3 years ago
The American Budweiser DID have the name first.
American Budweiser - 1876
Budweiser Budvar - 1895
I know how you people are just DYING to take down those big evil corporations, but American Budweiser didn't steal ANYTHING.

Thank you for your comment. Let me clarify...first of all, I have ABSOLUTELY NO intention to take down any BIG COMPANIES. I take down BIG companies that brew rubbish and I also take down small / micro / cottage breweries that make rubbish too. Conversely, I welcome and praise any big companies that go about to make great drinks. Both Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser Budvar are gigantic companies. Hope you get my point. Now...

Here's my issue - I think people like this beer SOLELY because it's AB's most famous adversary.
Me? Back in 2002, I bought my first sixer of Czechvar - and, no surprise, it has that "green bottle" taste to it, which I'm not a fan of.
If they ever decide to go the route that Heineken did, and come out with cans or miniature kegs, I might revisit Czechvar.
wereldboom 3 years ago
There is no green bottle taste you dopey git, thats the taste of a real beer, go back to drinking the pee style of Budweiser and leave the real beer for those who can handle it.

Czechvar is shit. If this beer didn't have the "rebel" reputation of being known as "the real Budweiser" - if this beer was NEVER known as Budweiser Budvar, none of you motherfuckers would give this beer a second look as it sits on the shevles

chill out, beer in České BUDĚJOVICE(Bohemian/Czech Budweis) has been made since the early medieval age, at the time when even any USA didn´t exist, just company Budvar(Bud) brewery company was founded later than US producer of mosquito´s swipes but that´s all, US producer of mosquito´s swipes just stole the geographical name

because some Germans from the Czechlands ärrived in USA and started to produce Czech style beer and called that after České Budějovice town (Tschechische Budweis).For sure the US producer of mosquito´s swipes is in an US České Budějovice town, for sure hahah(sarkasm)

You're right, the only true Budvar comes from Czech Repulic - because there's no beer anywhere else called "Budvar" you fucking moron!
Face it - the only thing that comes out of Czech Republic are pilsners. Out of Germany comes that, schwarzbiers, and bocks (and the varying types of bocks).
Here in America, we've got that - and all types of pale ales (American, IPA's, brown, etc), porters, black and tans, you name it). America is the only self-sufficient country when it comes to beer.

black and tan is a mix of beer not a beer style. research BJCP guidelines. There are so many flaws in what you are saying. Australia beer culture is very much like the states as you put it actually the craft beer scene throughout the world is exactly how you put it. Germany are known for helles and rauchbier and all other sorts as well you just are too ignorant to know that.
eatSleepplayguitar 2 years ago
Who gives a fuck about BJCP? It's only been around since the mid-80's; they're not the authority on beer.
And, you don't impress me by naming two more styles of beer from Germany. Hey, I can do it too: dunkel and altbier. Now I can call you "ignorant" too.
At the end of the day, Czechvar sucks - and the only reason people like it is because it's "rebellious" - and you know it.

You know something? I'll be the bigger man and retract PART of what I said - basic and adjunct lagers, and I'll include pilsner style, since they're not too far off.

Czechvar = ORIGINAL Budvar but it's absolutely not the popular American Budweiser Budvar which is a commercial junk beer. In my opinion, the best larger / pilsner style beer is still brewed from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It's the quality well water, Saaz hop (also named Zatec in Czech), select Moravian malt, and original Budvar yeast that make the brew special. It's very hard to beat a quality brew like this!

budvar is an amazing lager. it's one of my favourites and is becoming more popular here in the uk. there is also a dark budvar that is made with toasted hops and a wider variety of hops. it is very very dark and has full satisfying flavour but is incredibly refreshing and easy to drink. it's harder to get hold of but i recommend to any beer lover.

Thanks for the tips! I know and heard about the dark larger but sadly we do not get it here.

Czech style Pilsner as well as larger are head and shoulder above all especially when you can have them fresh on draft. You are a lucky guy! Some beer you have to drink them fresh like a pint of Guiness/Murphy's/Beamish in Ireland but others have to be aged like an old barley wine from England...

Ironically Michael, Budvar tastes hoppier and fresher from bottles than the tap. Maybe they hop it up so it stays tasty on the shelf longer or for export, but sadly that nice distinct fresh taste disappears in the pub here. It becomes quite an average tasting lager to be honest. The unfiltered version is hard to find but excellent however, as is Budvar Dark.

1.The glasses I use are the Riedel Overture red wine glasses. I managed to secure 20+ glasses for $5 each; 2.Unlike inferior glasses, the rim of these glasses are smooth so they don't have a 'kick' thus the liquid flow directly into the mouth which is important in tasting; 3. The glasses have the perfect volume which I usually fill up to 1/4 of the glass; 4.The bulb shape of the glasses mean they trap the aromas so are suitable to nose beer/wine/whiskies.
