[Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module

[Tim Hague]

Definitely OT but a subject dear to a Brits heart!, the story of Budvar and Budweiser is interesting and worth looking up, Budvar is certainly worth drinking, Budweiser.....well...

Yes I spend a lot of time in the US, I lived in Texas for a year in the mid 80s and beer was a problem, these days you have seen the light!  I've even seen proper English beer pumps serving real ale in PA.

Best regards, Tim Hague

The only beer available on the menu was Budweiser. We Americans almost rioted until the Czechs explained that the beer was Budvar, a German light larger whose maker is in a trademark dispute with the American Budweiser.

Good locally made beers are available almost everywhere in the US these days at small breweries with attached pubs and in stores.
