The first of 20 beers from around the world. Of course we are starting in Czech Republic (?)
This is Budějovický Budvar, which looks a bit like the popular American “Budweiser”, because it is. This came out first. I was curious to find the meaning of this and lo, the ever reliable wikipedia tells all. Turns out there was a big international bumfight over the Budweiser name, but this shit was brewed ages ago in České Budějovice which of course, in German means “Budweis”. So there America.
Anyway how does it taste? well, I drank it quite quickly which means it’s good. On the way down however I noticed that distinct European flavour, similar to German beers where the Hops are the dominant flavour. Over all a crisp beer (maybe coz it was super cold) and clean aftertaste.
Good beer? Czech. A great kick off to a beerventure!
Russia next…
