世界名牌博览：百威

Budweiser，中文名为“百威”，世界知名的啤酒品牌，1876年诞生于美国。Budweiser在其百年发展中，一直以其纯正的口感，过硬的质量赢得了全世界消费者的青睐，成为世界最畅销、销量最多的啤酒，长久以来被誉为是“啤酒之王”。

Budweiser is one of the biggest selling beers in the world. It is brewed¹ by the Anheuser-Busch breweries² in the United States but it has its origins in the Czech Republic. In 2008 Anheuser-Busch sold most of the operations to the Belgian-Brazilian beer giant InBev, to create the largest brewing³ company in the world. Brewing of the pale lager beer started in 1876 and has become an American icon⁴. Budweiser accounts for over half of all beers sold in the USA. Like other beers, Budweiser is known for its distinctive⁵ bottle and label, both of which remained largely unchanged since 1876. Tradition is important to the company. Its website says: “At Budweiser, we take enormous pride in brewing the great American lager. But being a part of American history and life is what really makes us proud.”
