In German, Budweiser translates as "Piss Wasser". Pretty sure.
The story goes that Adolphus Busch (?) had the recipe for a Czech beer known as Budvar (Budejovich?) that bears a striking resemblance to Budweiser. You can buy the green-bottled Czech version and they taste almost identical.
I was under the impression that the Belgians buying out Anheuser-Busch was the Europeans getting back at the Busch family for stealing the recipe.
This is all second-hand, so don’t hold me to any of this.
