I'm of course spoilt by Czech beer, but my favourite German beer is Jever. It comes from the north coast near the Danish border. Slightly herby taste to it. Anti-marketing types look away now, but it's also a lovely brand full of images of the Northern coast that make my heart ache living so far from the sea.
About 10% on draught, cost the equalivant of about £1.22 a pint...can't argue, although you can after about 10 pints when you puke up in your bed cos of it
The only thing the two Budweisers have in common is the name. The American firm saw the name and chose it because they thought it sounded like a good name for a beer. Subsequently they have taken the Czech firm to courts all over the world to protect "their" name!
Czech Budweiser is made with grain, hops, water and yeast - the US drink is made with rice (as that's cheaper). There is no comparison.

looks like have plenty of drinking to do : )
CAMRA beer festivals always have a foreign beer section with a selection of interesting bottles, and sometimes a german or belgian beer on draft
If you're in Munich, go to any of the beer gardens, and dive in.

Couple of the less masculine among us were drinking Frulli, a strawberry beer!

How good a name is that?
The American Budweiser imitation that we get imported in this country ..... how do people manage to drink that?
