Real Beer

I heard some good news for Americans yesterday. Apparently, some kind of deal was made between Anheiser Busch and the brewers of the real budweiser beer. You see, the good old American Budweiser-which is not worth the effort of opening the can-was named that after the founder of Anheiser Busch went to Europe to taste beers. He really liked the name and in 1919 decided to name his American bubbly sour water-sorry, I mean "beer"-Budweiser. Then he was clever enough to follow the American model and stamp a TM after the name on all his labels, thus outlawing anyone else's use of the name. This occurred much to the dismay of the Czechs from the town of Budweis who'd been calling their beer Budweiser for more than 500 years! Dirty bastard American businessman! Anyway, the two parties have been fighting back and forth ever since and the Czech Budweiser-which is a truly great beer-has been (to my knowledge) kept from the American people. Now that there has been some kind of deal the Czechs can sell their beer to Americans under some other name. This will probably back-fire considering that most Americans are still reeling from the lack fo beer with any flavor since the days of Prohibition. But I still have faith that the culture of beer drinkers in the states is flourishing. Afterall, America was made by Europeans coming acorss the ocean. The Irish brought their Guiness and Harp beers. the English have John Smiths. We'll just have to see what happens.
But to he American people, I say, "Bottoms up!"
