Hello!

I have question about this beer (Budweiser). Which one is older and orginal.
From Czech Republik or USA. I think orginal is from Czech because they are
have big traditions in brewing. The name sounds like german.

Please give me inform.

The Czech beer, the American Buidweiser opened about 1860.

Phil, Phil, Phil...How many times have we been over this?

The American Budweiser, brewed by Anheuser-Busch, was first sold in American
in 1876. The Czech beer that is today labeled as Budweiser, or Budvar, came
second, in the 1890s. The "big traditions in brewing" in the Czech Republic
count for little in this case; American brewing traditions are every bit as
old, simply transplanted. European brewers came to America and brewed here.

What does count is that beer was being brewed in Budvar, or Budweis, for at
least 100 years before the organization of the brewery that today brews
Budweiser there. And naturally enough, these beers were generally referred
to as "budweiser," or 'beer from Budweis.' Were they actually named that,
and labeled that? Apparently not. Do we actually know when the type of beer
replicated by the Czech Budweiser was first brewed? Other than a general
assumption that it post-dates the 1842 origin of Pilsener, no, we don't, to
the best of my limited knowledge. Does it predate American Budweiser?
Probably, because indications are that American Budweiser was at least named
for a similarly light-golden, crisp lager found in Budweis.

But if you're strictly asking which of the two beers currently labeled as
Budweiser is the older, the answer is the American one. Which one is the
"original" is a bit sticky, as it appears that neither one is.

Thank you guys for answers.

I was wonder about the name.Because for me it's strange intersection of
facts. The name of Czech town Budejovice with Budejovicki Budvar and on the
other side earth the same name of beer.I see connection between.So I've just
find somethink like this on the official website of Budvar
http://www.budvar.cz/budvar/budvar-web/corporate/cms//budvar-corporate/o_spo
lecnosti/historie_BB_en.cms maybe it is answer.

No more strange than that the Czech town of Plzn with Pilsner Urquell and
ALL OVER THE EARTH beers with the same name: pilsner. Kölsch is the
traditional style of beer in Köln, Germany, yet many breweries in the U.S.
make Kölsch.

Pretty clearly states that the brewery was founded in 1895, almost 20 years
after Anheuser-Busch first produced a beer labeled "Budweiser." Yup. That's
what I said.

It really all depends on what question you're asking.

You end up with quite a few things in the States being named after or
sharing names with European locations, thanks to immigrants naming things
after what they were familiar with. It's why there's New York, for instance.

In the case of Budweiser, the Anheuser and Busch families are Germanic, as
is obvious from the surnames. For a few hundred years, what's now the Czech
Republic was part of the Austrian Empire (later Austrian-Hungarian Empire),
so most town names had both their Czech and German forms. In this case,
Budejovice and Budweis. In German, "Budweiser" simply means "from Budweis."
Which explains why the name would be used in the States, and why the German
name ended up being used instead of the Czech. Much of the U.S. has a huge
German immigrant population; the Czechs never came over in large numbers.

Well, it doesn't exactly explain why a beer "from St. Louis"
would be called "from Budweis." But who am I to quibble?

Same reason beers from several thousand cities all over the planet are
called "beer from Pisen"? Or how Wisconsin somehow produces "cheese from
Parma," or California has "wine from Champagne"?

And "beer from Budweis" is parameterizably unique?
