Question
When I was in Italy I had the opportunity to try Budweiser Budvar. I believe it is a Chezk beer. Is that still around? Is there a way to order some? Any information is appreciated.

Answer
Yes, this is the same beer that is imported to the USA under the name Czechvar. (They can't use the same name they use in Europe because of trademark restrictions).

In my opinion, this is the single best Pilsner style beer brewed anywhere in the world.

Czechvar is available in all areas of the country. If your local store doesn't carry it, you can get them to ask their distributor for it. That would be the same distributor that carries the Anheuser-Busch beers.
