Product Overview

Budejovický Budvar, also known as Budweiser Budvar outside of North America, is a classic Czech Pilsner, proudly brewed in České Budějovice, South Bohemia. This world-renowned lager is celebrated for its impeccable balance, crafted with the finest local ingredients, including Moravian malt, Saaz hops, and pure artesian water drawn from an Ice Age aquifer.

Aged for 90 days, significantly longer than many commercial beers, Budejovický Budvar delivers a rich, deep golden body topped with an aromatic, hoppy foam. The beer's distinct flavour profile makes it a standout example of the "Czech Pilsner" style, offering a delightful mix of bready malt sweetness and a crisp, floral bitterness.

Producer History

Budejovický Budvar has a storied history dating back to 1895 when it was founded as the Czech Joint-Stock Brewery by local brewers who sought independence from German brewing influences. Over the decades, Budvar has become a symbol of Czech pride and brewing excellence, weathering the storms of world wars and political upheavals to maintain its commitment to quality and tradition.

Notably, the brewery remains state-owned, with every Czech citizen considered a stakeholder in its success. This independence has allowed Budvar to preserve its brewing heritage, including the use of traditional methods such as extended lagering and brewing with only the finest Czech ingredients. The brewery's dedication has been recognised globally, with numerous awards underscoring its reputation as one of the world's best lager producers.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Budejovický Budvar pours a clear, deep golden hue with a thick, frothy white head that lingers and laces beautifully on the glass.

Aroma: The aroma is a balanced blend of fresh, floral Saaz hops, bready malt, and a subtle hint of spice, offering a preview of the beer's complex flavour profile.

Flavour: On the palate, this Pilsner is full-bodied yet refreshing, with a perfect harmony of malt sweetness and hoppy bitterness. The malt imparts a slightly sweet, biscuity flavour, which is expertly countered by the peppery and herbal notes of the hops.

Mouthfeel: The beer is smooth and well-carbonated, providing a crisp finish that leaves you wanting another sip.

Food Pairings

Budejovický Budvar's versatile flavour profile makes it an excellent companion for a wide range of dishes. The beer’s bready malt character complements the richness of roasted meats, such as pork or chicken, while its crisp hop bitterness cuts through the fat of more indulgent foods like sausages or fried cheeses. For a traditional Czech pairing, serve it with a hearty plate of goulash or svíčková (marinated beef). The beer also works wonderfully with lighter fare, such as grilled fish or a fresh garden salad, where its refreshing qualities shine through.
