Tasting Note:
Universally regarded as one of the world's great lager conditioned beers, we only use the finest ingredients, first-class cones from locally grown Saaz hops, natural soft water from ice age lakes and carefully selected grains of a unique strain of the Moravian barley make our Budweiser Budvar Original a truly great beer.
Background Information:
Since 1895, Budweiser Budvar has brewed the finest Czech lager in the world, made using local ingredients and aged to perfection in our cellars in ceské budejovice, south bohemia. Our brewery is still owned by the people of the Czech republic. Greetings from the republic of beer. Only four ingredients go into Budweiser Budvar: whole-cone Saaz hops, Moravian malt, heritage lager yeast and pure soft water, drawn from an Ice Age aquifer 300m underneath the brewery. And it’s been this way since 1895.
Brand Sustainability:
Simon George, Managing Director of Budweiser Budvar UK, said, “As a brewery owned by a nation, not a corporation, we have a particular responsibility to take a lead on packaging waste issues. The challenge has always been to offer our premium beer in packaging that holds it safely and securely, and sends the right message about the brand, as well as meeting our environmental obligations. We’re delighted to be working with the specialists at Smurfit Kappa, as well as Waitrose as our retail partner, to trial this new solution and play our part in the reduction of plastic waste in the supply chain.”
Food Pairing:
When paired with cheese, Budweiser Budvar’s hoppy flavours and carbonation cut through the richness of the dish. The beer will bridge or complement the smooth texture of aged cheese varieties. Budweiser pairs well with creamy desserts like crème brûlée and cheesecake, creating a smoothie-like texture and sweet flavour.
