The ORIGINAL, older, Budweiser.. is the Czech one.

The US company keeps fighting for the trademark in every country they 
come to.. most recently the EU company won in Spain if I remember correctly.

It's an old and well known/respected trademark. The beer is good too.

In the US it's just another one of them mass/pop/lame beers.. but hey, 
it's still beer.. according to some.
