Can, bottle, keg: Filtered B:Original / Original Czech Lager Sold as Czechvar in most of the Americas (due to a trademark dispute with Anheuser-Busch), and as Budweiser Budvar in the rest of the world. Has adopted the subtitles "B: Original", "Original Czech Lager" or just "Original", depending on market, to emphasis that the company was the first to use the Budweiser name. Brewed using whole-cone, Saaz hops from Žatec, pristine water from an Ice Age aquifer, Moravian malting barley and our heritage lager yeast, this classic rich and full-flavoured lager sets the gold standard for Czech brewing across the world. The tradition of cold-conditioning in our brewery cellars for seven times longer than most other beers creates a pale lager with a sweet, deep golden body and an aromatic, hoppy foam. Bold in taste, yet refreshing and perfectly balanced. Cone hops, water from deep Artesian wells of 300m depth, Moravian malt, brewers' unique skills and long maturing in lager cellars. A lager that contributes to the already reputable Czech beer brewing industry all over the world. Malt: Czech malt Hops: Žatecký poloraný červeňák (ŽPČ) • hops cone 10 EBC
