Budvar Imports to US up 7%

Anheuser-Busch's long-time lawsuit target, State-owned Czech brewery Budejovicky Budvar, seems to be benefiting from the recent acquistion of A-B by InBev. Budvar imported 311,494 gallons of beer into the United States, up from 290,598 gallons, largely as a result of A-B agreeing to distribute Budvar in the US. In the United States Budweiser Budvar is known as Budvar Czechvar as a result of the ongoing legal battle over the Budweiser name.
