[edit] City name

If the city is in Germany, why is its name given in Czech? Jaysbro 15:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see -- it's not part of Germany anymore. Edited the main page to clarify. Jaysbro 15:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

The article says the two companies came up with the name independently. This is not a fact, as at least some evidence quite clearly contradicts it. I'd change it to: which claim to have independently developed the name.--Elmeri B. Suokirahvi 14:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Style of Beer

"Budweiser", like Pilsner, is a style of beer. Anheuser-Busch wasn't the only American brewer to sell beers under that name. Quoting:

That Other Budweiser

By Peter V.K. Reid

Then it starts to get complicated. In 1876, in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., the German immigrant entrepreneurs Carl Conrad and Adolphus Busch decided to emulate the beers of Budweis. Busch brewed it, and Conrad bottled and sold it. In 1878, Conrad trademarked Budweiser, and in 1883, Anheuser-Busch took over the rights. At the time, several American brewers made Budweiser brand beers, including the Frederick Miller Brewing Company. By 1894, the first first Budweiser trademark suits were already roiling American courts. A-B prevailed in its early suits, but the little DuBois Brewing Co. of DuBois, PA, continued making its own Budweiser until 1972, defeating several court challenges by A-B. DuBois was bought by Pittsburgh Brewing Co. in '72, after which the DuBois Budweiser brand was no longer made.

So maybe the disambig should make note of that.

[edit] Horse

What is the name of the type of horse that is Budweiser's trademark because I think it should be added to the article.24.175.233.200 02:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Zolo's Kuina
