4. Bud in Europe
Amazingly Bud is a yuppie poser beer in Europe. It boggles the mind. I suppose its because it is something different and you can drink alot of it without getting drunk. They even have a sponsor ship deal with a Formula One team now.

5. I saw that! Williams BMW! Weird!
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 08:54 AM by FlashHarry
When I lived in Europe, Bud was sold at the bars as an 'import,' and was therefore more expensive. (Incidentally, the cans were the same, except, they said BUD instead of Budweiser, mainly, I think, because there's a Czech brewery that also makes Budweiser and has a few-hundred-year jump on Anheuser Busch.)

Although, if you've tried French beer (except Stella, of course), you could understand why Jacques drinks St. Louis' finest...

6. Bud
yeah I heard about the Czech thing. At some of the races Williams can't put "Budwieser" on the car and have "Bud" instead because the Czech brewery owns the Budweiser name in those countries.
