Budweiser is a Pilsner beer, named after the region of Pilsner in what has been E germany, Poland, Czechloslovakia. The borders have been argured and fought over a lot.
It is a bitter, lighter beer than most German beers. Designed as a thirst quencher more than a meal. Heavey, sweet, European beers are actually interchangable with bread in terms of nurishment and calories. Not designed for guzzling, but slow sipping.
And are served warm; room temperature. Not the best on a hot scorching day when most of us would prefer, no demand, a crisp, really cold brew. And lots of it.

Say what you want about American beers, but they are brewed for our life style, not to be cheap as some claim. Here's a conundrum, how can anybody be snooty about beer? I get it with wines,cigars and scotch but BEER?
