My first trip to Frankfurt when I was in the Army was a time I will never forget. I tried every German beer that I could. The perplexing thing was that Budweiser was the most popular to GERMANS who were with us. The oddity occurred later at Irish bars in the states. It makes no sense.
Apparently there is a Czech Budweiser that is quite good. It’s not the same company at all.
