Cosmos Tour: Prague Vienna Budapest – Budweiser and Pilsner Beer
Budweiser beer was developed in the Czech Republic. It was originally called Budvar (and still goes by that name in some countries). Beer has been brewed in Budweis since 1245. It tastes different here than the one in the US.
The two cities most associated with Czech beer are Pilsen and Budweis which both had breweries in the 13th century. The 2 most famously exported Czech beer brands are Pilsner Urquell, which was the world’s first pilsner (pale lager) and Budweiser Budvar. Pilsners have a clear golden colour, a light flavor and lots of foam.
In 2012, for the 20th consecutive year, the Czech Republic had the highest beer consumption per capita in the world – 170 litres per person.
