There is only one and only real Budweiser that is brewed in city of Budweis since the 13th century:

Don't buy bad copies!!!

I was speaking about the American Budweiser, of course, but this reminds me the last time I bought one.
Me and a friend were making last-minute shopping (60 - 70% of which had alcoholic content )before we went camping to Ilha de Tavira, and we saw the Czech Bud next to the American one. We laughed to ourselves - "what a cheap imitation". When we described the whole incident to the Czech girlfriend of one of our camping mates, she got completely mad at us and refused every one of our pacification attempts - which, in one case, and to complete the diplomatic disaster, included an offer of an American Bud (thankfully, it was my friend, not me).

So, that's how I came to know the original Bud - the hard way.

PS - In Portugal, we say "À nossa", which can be loosely translated as "To us".

The worst one of the Finnish beers is actually mentioned in the topic of this thread. Lapin Kulta ("The Gold of Lapland" or "Lapland's gold") is often referred to as "Lapin Kusta", "kusi" meaning pee and "kusta" being a partitive form of that word.
Karhu is the most drinkable of the Finnish beers, but still I always try to stick to foreign beers. As long as they're not Swedish (have you people ever tried Kopparberg's peach beer? Don't.), one can trust they are better than the Finnish ones.

There are nowadays brewers that really brews beer. All most selling beers are brewed with sugar, that's why those aren't tasting at all. These beers are lapin kulta, koff, karhu, olvi etc.

Those brewers are luckily started brew real beer too, which are brewed with only malt sugar, no added sugar. These are hartwall classic, legenda etc.

I like most legenda because it really tastes beer, not water like karhu

A Le Cog beer, which i brought from estonia, is good too. That's very tasty beer, even comparing to saku. Dakkus, you should try that too.

I one drank a very lightly coloured A Le Coq in Suomenlinna and liked it pretty much. However, they haven't started selling that stuff with Finnish prices quite yet. I think I will buy a few hundred cans of that stuff when I go to Tallinn the next time ;)

This is actually the worst thing in Germany. In certain German regions they always keep mixing their good beer with some Coca Cola company crap. Luckily our Praguean host had told us to avoid drinking those, so we almost managed to avoid them.
In a German Getränkemarkt (those are scary) you can see many kinds of mixing. Beer with coke, beer with jaffa, beer with sprite, beer with this and that.
In Harz I was asked if I wanted to drink stuff that was in a standard German beer bottle. I said I would love to drink that. Then, when I got it to my hands and took the first sip, I found out the terrible truth: The stuff was 50% beer and 50% sprite. Imagine the taste.
I drank it as fast as I could to avoid tasting its taste. When I was ready, I was happy. Then I looked elsewhere for several seconds. When I looked on the table again, I saw a new bottle of that sick joke in front of me. Opened.

If a country has as good beer as Germany does, why on earth do they have to destroy it?

I think that was about the worst offence you could say to a Czech person.

The fight about the trade mark is actually world famous. Here is the Czech version about it. It is quite interesting.

In Belgium it is also done: beer with cola is called a TANGO, Some people, mainly in the province Limburg mix beer with white lemonade but I can't remenber what they call it. I don't know if you know the brown beer with only a bit alcohol and a very sweet taste, in Belgium we call it tafelbier(tablebeer). A lot of people mix this with the pils and then it's called Half/half. It used to be drunk by a lot of people and had the advantage that you could drink a lot more without getting drunk but I think the yought nowadays prefer other things.

I just had one König Pils in a bar here in Tampere. Unfortunately it didn't taste the same as in Germany. I think it was old.
