Hehe, indeed "great." Thank you, I learnt something new. (It could be
that I never paid real attention to the tags (in German) on the bottles
sold here, where Budvar might be translated as "Budweiser Bräu" or
"Budweiser Brauerei").

(BTW, off-topic: does Budvar belong to the South-African giant SAB
Miller?)
