Probably cheaper too! (The beer, not the girls.)

Let us not forget that the name Budweiser comes from the Czech town of Budvar. When their local brewery began marketing Budweiser beer in Europe, their American namesake sued to stop them from using the name, which corresponds to the German pronunciation for their town. The American company lost the suit. I think GIs would appreciate a cold Bud, Czech style.

You can get REAL Budweiser in the U.S. now. They call it "Czechvar" from Budvar. Best beer in the world. I've had it tapped from an oak keg. Pure heaven.

I've had Czech Budweiser before, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't specifically marketed for all the GI's in Germany. I remember the NCO club at Rhein Main Airbase sold it. It was probably the first legal beer I ever bought since I was 18 at the time and was processing through the 21st replacement detachment on my way to Turkey.

Budweiser comes from Budweis. Now known as Budvar.
The Czech had a large group of Germans in their country, that´s why Hitler took the Sudetenland and short after that the whole Czech Republic.
