Is it any good??? Bob, it's the real thing!

Places in Bohemia often have dual German and Czech names.  Thuse the Czech
town Plžen had the German name Pilsen. It is the home of Pilsner beers.
Likewise Budvar had the German name Budweis . and you can guess the rest.

There was a landmark legal action in UK in the past few years concerning the
Budweiser trademark. The Anheuser Busch sought to ban the sale of a Czech
beer named Budweiser (had always been called that since time immemorial),
and failed. Hence both Budweisers are on sale here under that name. Hard to
mix them up, though!

I believe the Czech beer is marketed in US as Czechvar.

Wow. Good to know. Is it any good? Not sure Czech beer has ever made it onto
my beer radar.
