But those of us here in Bud-burbia are proud of you, MSG. Live long-neck and prosper. Or something like that.
St. Louis, Missouri, home of Budweiser. Well, at least the home of American Budweiser.
The real home of Budweiser is the Czeck city of Ceske Budejovice, or during German domination a few whiles back, it was translated to Budweis. In German, beer coming from Budweis is BudweisER. I think the translation is literally: "Of Budweis" or in English: "From Budweis".
The two Bud's have been duking it out for years in many different court systems over trademarks, etc. Here's a link if you're interested:

While in Austria and Germany a few years back, my b-n-l explained the conflict to me and I immediately asked where we might partake of this controversy. We found a local pub and I got myself a "real" BudweisER, drank it, and brought this refillable empty home as a souvenir (see: photo). The brown bottle color prevents the monster hops inside from turning skunky as you probably know.
