Budweiser originally refers to a Czech beer - Budějovický Budvar - brewed in České Budějovice (German: Budweis). Today there are two separate beers sold under the Budweiser name: the Czech original (often marketed as Budvar or, in some countries, Czechvar) and the US beer produced by Anheuser‑Busch. Trademark rights to the name "Budweiser" are divided by territory after long legal disputes: Anheuser‑Busch owns the Budweiser trademark in the United States and in many other markets, while Budějovický Budvar retains rights in other countries (in Germany for example).

So Budweiser was never really a US beer - it is just sold under this name to give the impression that it is a good beer, which the original is, but its US imitation never was.
