Before you start, may I introduce you to P Pilsner Urquel? Means something like "Pilsen's Original Source" (Plzen in Czech, invading due to religious beliefs Germans renamed it Pilzen, cause they were probably too drunk to be able to pronounce the original.) Anyway, a LOVELY beer. Everyone imitates it, to this day, and arrogantly, erroneously puts "Pilsner" on the label. Sigh. Piker pretenders. So it goes in the "appropriation" market. Same with Budwiser. Czech, naturally. From Budejovice, which the Germans renamed, again, due to their speech defects, I guess. In any case, the US King of Beers Budwiser is nothing like the original, Beer of Kings, Czech Budwiser. WiKi has the whole story. Anyway, reminds me of the Monty Python beer sketch, and their opinion of American beer...



Cheers! :-)
