Budvar Výčepní is a traditional pale draught beer produced by the iconic brewery Budějovický Budvar. The brand is deeply rooted in the brewing history of České Budějovice (Budweis), Czech Republic, dating back to its establishment in 1895. Unlike many other major European beer brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Budvar holds a unique status as a state-owned enterprise, managed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic.

All Budvar products are brewed exclusively in České Budějovice using local ingredients, including Saaz hops, Moravian malting barley, and water from deep artesian wells. This commitment to local production is protected by Geographical Indication status within the EU, ensuring that the authentic 'Budweiser Budvar' can only be brewed in its city of origin. The brand is famously involved in a long-standing trademark dispute with the American company Anheuser-Busch over the name 'Budweiser,' resulting in the brand being marketed as 'Budvar' or 'Czechvar' in various international markets.
