Budweiser Budvar is one of the oldest beers produced in the Czech Republic. However, I think I need to mention the name similarity between it and American Budweiser first. The similarity between Budweiser has been a subject of a legal dispute between the two companies for many years. American Budweiser was founded in 1876 and named their beers in the style of those produced in the city of Budweis. On the other hand, Czech Budweiser has been brewing beer since the 13th century but adopted the name in 1895.
As a result, Budweiser Budvar cannot use its name in some countries, including the United States, and American Budweiser cannot use the name in Europe and is presented as Bud instead.
In terms of quality, Budweiser Budvar beer cannot be compared to today's American Budweiser. Budweiser Budvar is a beer that is prepared with much more effort and high-quality ingredients. It is a very nice Pilsner beer, but it is best enjoyed in a bar in the Czech Republic rather than drinking it bottled in Turkey. It has been my experience, as well as the experience of many others, that the taste of the beer is different when consumed fresh. Of course, this can be said for any beer, but it is particularly noticeable in simple beers like Pilsner.
When taking the picture, I intentionally left about half of the glass with a foamy head because every bar in Prague served the beer this way. It may not be in line with our customs, but we cannot claim to know better than the producers and the people who drink it every day.
