They DO import it to the US, labeled "Czechvar". It may not be as good as the local draft over there, of course.
Budvar is brewed in the Bohemian town of Ceske Budjovice, which, in its German form, is Budweis. The stuff is the real Budweiser. Why Budvar choses to package it under the Budweiser Budvar brand name is beyond me. I will not drink Budweiser, but Budvar is quite good.
The Budvar brewery has a fine restaurant and, mounted on the wall of the restaurant, is a cupboard containing the personal beer mugs of notables who visit the place. I saw Vaclav Havel's mug there.
I will keep an eye out for Czechvar.
Exactly. I thought the czechvar name was the result of a legal agreement with Bud. Czechvar and urquell are the tops. But, Tuppers hop pocket pils is dang good too.
