Beer "Budweiser": the whole truth

Beer is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Everyone adores him, regardless of gender, age or other characteristics. Today we will talk about such a wonderful product as Budweiser. Let's talk about its types, analyze reviews and give it a full description.

In outline

Even when it comes to alcohol, it's not as simple as it might seem at first glance, especially when it's Budweiser. The manufacturer, or rather its producers, who are in different hemispheres of the Earth (the Czech Republic and the United States), called their product the same, which, in turn, complicates the task slightly. In principle, there is not much difference between their tastes, as the recipes for both options are based on the Czech brewing technology. They differ only in notes of caramel, coffee and chocolate and the fact that American beer is light, and Czech beer is dark.

Czech beer

Budweiser Budvar, produced in Czech Republic, is a bottled dark beer of bottom fermentation, produced at a small factory called Budějovický Budvár in the town of České Budějovice. The peculiarity is not only the original taste, but also an extraordinary preparation, which makes the drink more tender, and at the same time resistant, despite its ingredients and a rich opaque color. Beer "Budweiser" has an opaque coffee-black shade. Dry aroma with well-noticeable notes of hops, sour berries and caramel. The taste balances between the notes of barley malt, caramel and bitter coffee-chocolate tinge.

Feature of cooking

The peculiarity of the Czech "Budweiser" is that it is cooked only on the basis of artesian water, which is at a depth of more than three hundred meters. On the territory of Budějovický Budvár there are several wells, from which water is pumped directly into the brewery. According to legend, this water is the lake's remains from the times of the Ice Age. In order to get a delicate taste of beer, its ninety days are kept in oak barrels in cellars, placed at a depth of about ten to twelve meters.

The American version

Beer "Budweiser" of American manufacture is one of the most popular grades of beer of bottom fermentation. It is made for several centuries, without losing its primary features. His story began back in 1876 in a small town called St. Louis, Missouri. Private manufacturer Adolfus Bush, visiting Bohemia, decided to create Budweiser (beer) as an analog of Bohemian. The name, as well as the manufacturing traditions, were borrowed from Czech producers, but despite this, the taste of the American variant was significantly different from the Czech one. This led to the creation of a purely American lager. In the early twentieth century, Budweiser received the status of a nationwide beer, increasing annual production to 12 million decaliters, which was a record for the whole history of alcoholic beverages. In the 20-30s of the XX century - during the dry law - the production of a wonderful drink was almost stopped, but everything was restored immediately after the permission of the authorities.

Varieties

Beer "Budweiser" American manufacture has six types:

• Budweiser Select - low-calorie light beer with alcohol level of only 4.3%;
• Budweiser American Ale - 5.3-percent ale of semi-dark color;
• Budweiser 4 - light beer, a lighter version with an alcohol percentage of 4.0;
• Bud Light - light beer, a lighter version with an alcohol percentage of 4.0;
• Bud Ice - ice light beer with an alcohol level of 5.5%;
• Bud Dry is a light beer with an alcohol level of 5.5%.

Let's sum up the results

Despite the fact that the drinks are made in different parts of the world, still Budvayzer beer of American and Czech origin has almost the same taste. The only difference is that in America it is divided into several varieties, while in the Czech Republic it exists in only one variant. The original recipes were taken from a single source, just as the technology of preparation and aging was preserved. A barely noticeable difference is in the shades. The American version, in contrast to the Czech, in its taste does not have a slightly noticeable note of caramel, and the color is quite different, only ale in color resembles Budweiser Budvar. It is because of its color that the western version was called "bright camp".

What consumers say

Budweiser beer, which we reviewed about, is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages on the world market. Those who have ever tried this drink, note its unusual taste and aroma. Most often focus on the original mix of flavors of coffee, chocolate, caramel and hops. Bright camp is celebrated as a more fresh drink. It does not contain a mix of tastes of the Czech variant, only ale can compete partly with its European counterpart. Fans of Budweiser emphasize not only an interesting taste, but also an acceptable price, despite the fact that it is a world-famous beer.
