Sign of Budweiser Budvar beer reminded me of Ferrari - both are bright red and both are synonym for excellence in its own field.

Do not, by any chance, confuse this beer with the Budweiser produced in USA - they have nothing in common and might as well belong to different galaxies.

Budweiser Budvar beer is brewed in Česke Budejovice. According to the brewery's web page, the quality and unique character of Budweiser Budvar beer is based on the use of the best materials - the highest quality heads of Žatec hop, selected Moravian malt, the company's own culture of yeast and virgin clear water from 300 m deep artesian wells. They use the latest technologies as well as traditional procedures and the knowledge passed down by the previous generations of brewers in order to maintain the original quality and imitable flavour.

Brewing history in Česke Budejovice goes back to year 1265 when King Otakar II of Bohemia granted independent brewers in the city of Budweis (German name for Česke Budejovice) the right to produce beer. The beer became known as Budweiser just like the beer produced in another Bohemian city Pilsen is referred to as Pilsner.
