What are you drinking right now?

He's actually right, not only with San Miguel in the Philippines but with Singha beer in Thailand...

Plus if you recall from "Good Morning Vietnam", the light in the loafer bar owner told Robin Williams the Vietnamese beer had formaldehyde for "flavor"....

Singha was so nasty we drank Mekong whiskey by the bottle instead. San Miguel was great until you got a green one. The bottles were worth way more than the beer because the reused them.

No, Budweiser pretty much tastes like shit everywhere. Except possibly in the Czech Republic where it's an entirely different beer altogether.....

Svetly lezak means goat piss. That's why it's so popular there. They love that goat piss.

You've obviously lost touch with reality.

Well damn, how about that? Guess you really can get pickled on those things.

Hmmm... Reminds me of this swill...



Same brewery?

[So this is love]

You know.. I can only drink a Heineken if it's ice cold... any warmer and I just don't care for it... It has the reputation around here of being the official beer of douchebags - no offense, of course I'm just sayin...

...and I don`t care much what people might say ...Heineken also taste differently in Canada than in the U.S. Maybe a higher percentage of alcohol in Canada.

It says Import brand alliance, St Louis, Mo on the label. I'd say they're both Budweiser products but not sure if it's the same brewery for both.

Interesting indeed... Czech formula bud brought in to St.Louis and sold as an 'import'. Fuck you, Bud!!!

[Satan]

Yeah, it's the same thing. Except they obviously couldn't call it "Budweiser" in the States, because they wouldn't want it confused with the domestic Clydesdale piss variety.

So they change the name, and like most "Americanized" imports, water it down, and then sell it for $10/6 pack (or worse)

I always assumed bud must taste better in the states than in the uk or no one would drink it .
It's basically the anti - beer in the uk .

I'm willing to bet it's equally as shitty in the states as anywhere else.. it sucks.

Nah, it's not the same, surely? Unless Anheuser-Busch succeeded in their mission to kill off the Czech Budvar (also called Budweiser). I think the Czech one is probably not allowed to use the name "Budweiser" in the US. There were legal challenges over this in the 90s, I think.

I will consult the Beer Companion (by Michael Jackson, 1993. No, not that Michael Jackson - but like the Buds, same name, different thang) - here you go: "Budweiser" was a generic name for any beer / lager brewed in the Czech town of Budweis, and Anheuser-Busch obviously made it their own in the US.
