Or, more accurately, Czech beer was originally budweiser. The Czech
company was started in like the 15th century, but never got an
international trademark, so Budweiser America sued and won rights to their
name, cuch that the Czech Bud is now Budvar (vor? I forget) anywhere but
Czechoslovakia, I mean the Czech Republic. It's a funny mess that I'm
sure a few people are pissed off about. At least this has been my
understanding of the situation.
