All over the world there are many varieties and varieties of this foamy drink. This brand is widely known in Europe, and in America, and in Russia. Today, Bud beer is positioned as a classic American, and its advertising can be seen in many places. The slogan of the drink: "King of beer." And it is sold in almost a hundred countries!
A bit of history
It all began in 1876, at the Bush family brewery in St. Louis. One of the owners, Adolfus, visits Bohemia, studying the recipe of the drink. Upon returning to the States, he decides to brew beer according to Bohemian recipes from the masters from the town of Ceske Budejovice. It, accordingly, was called Budeevitsky (in German it sounds like Budweiser, and later simply: Bud beer). Over time, this will cause a conflict over the right to name the brand between European and American masters. But we will talk about this later, and today Bud beer is perceived by many consumers as exclusively American.
Continued development
In those days, Bud beer, brewed according to European standards, was not quite like American ales. However, this camp was to the taste of the inhabitants of the New World.
Beer Bud - grassroots fermentation. In 1881, artificial cooling technologies were introduced, which gives the drink additional freshness and aroma. In the days of Prohibition , an effective solution was found - the production of non-alcoholic Bad, which did not reduce the company's turnover and profits. In 1936, the famous beer in cans was launched.
Today, Bad is brewed at twelve factories in the United States alone, a dozen more enterprises are located around the world and work for the local consumer under licenses, strictly observing the recipe and composition. In our country, Bud beer appears in 2010 at the facilities of SAN InBev (now in seven cities of Russia). So it’s quite possible to talk about the mass and wide popularity of this drink with us.

50 year war
For more than half a century, a dispute over brand rights between Czechs and Americans has been going on. On the one hand, in the States they started brewing this beer for as long as 19 years. On the other hand, already in 1531, a beer called Budweiser was served at the table of Frederick the First. Today, brand rights are divided between companies in different countries in different ways. The Americans decided to introduce the new name “Bad” under the guise, but the Czechs didn’t like it either, so the debate continues to this day. One thing is for sure: both Czech beer is different in price and taste from American beer.
