Since 1895, a beer called Budweiser Budvar has been lovingly crafted in the Czech city of Ceske Budejovice. You may have tried it in Europe, but you probably haven’t had it here. For obvious reasons (Anheuser-Busch owns the " Budweiser " name in North America), it encountered some difficulty getting sold stateside.

But a simple name change fixed all that. So for the first time in 62 years, Budvar, henceforth known on these shores as Czechvar, is back in the USA. The appellation may be different, but the taste remains the same. Czechvar is the ideal light-but-flavorful complement to the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer — those days of soda and pretzels and beer that’ll soon be upon us. It’s full-bodied, crisp, and tangy, meaning that however tempting it may be to quench that thirst in one fell gulp, this beer asks — nay, demands — to be savored and enjoyed.
