This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It’s rebranded in a lot of places due to the trademark dispute (there’s another Budweiser beer from the Czech Republic). Can’t speak specifically for Germany but I don’t think it’s really that popular anywhere in Europe despite a no doubt large advertising budget.
you mean the beer from budvar? the city called budweis in german? i still am baffled how an american company can offer a beer under the name of a foreign town that has brewed beer for ages...
Well they can't in Germany evidently, at least. But for better or worse trademark laws typically prioritise who got there first in the market, not necessarily who has greater claim to the name.
