You do know that Budweiser (U.S.) sued Budweiser (Czech-Pilsen) for trademark infringement, and lost. They then went to the Czech government and threatened to stop purchasing hops from the country unless the tiny brewery in Pilsen changed their product name. Under pressure from their own government, Budweiser Budvar was renamed simply Budvar.

InBev Budweiser is a loathsome bunch of charlatans, marketing a weak and piddly beer-like substance. I wish them all the calamity and doom the fates have to offer for their continual affronts to the lovers of fine beer the world over.

Rheinheitsgebot, baby. It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!
