Budvar Original

Country of Origin: Czech Republic
Brewed in: České Budějovice
Alcohol: 5% ABV

The original and most definitely the best. First drank this in Cafe Tabac in Cheltenham (approx 1990) purely because it was different to the American Budweiser but loved it. Spent the next 10 years periodically working in the Czech Republic so drank this many times.

Budvar in a Jar


It's an old friend who's company I enjoy greatly but be warned if you spend too much time together the next day your head will be thumping like a Jack-hammer!

Strong tasting typical Czech Pilsner scores a  'Velmi dobře' 9.3 for taste, good memories and banging headaches!

Commercial Description

"By far and away the best known beer in the Budvar portfolio ABV5 Original is available on draught and in two bottle sizes, 330ml and 500ml as well as in 500ml cans. Brewed from nothing but local natural materials in a 100 days brewing cycle (90 spent fermenting) it is universally regarded as one of the world's great lager conditioned beers."
