The UK is, I believe, the only country where both companies can use the Busweiser name, which really annoys the Americans who are used to money buying everything. <br /><br />When Czechoslovakia ceased to be communist and began privatising industries, A-B were confident they'd be able to buy the Czech Budweiser brewery. They even had names (Budvar, not Budweiser), label designs and a marketing campaign ready. CAMRA were party to taking some American Bud to Prague and calling a press conference with free beer (the Bud, of course). Czech journalists were so disgusted with it (it hadn't been on sale there previously) that any hope A-B had of getting the press on side were scuppered.
