Scottish Beer Breakfast featuring Budweiser & Corona
Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers.
Today I had a delicious breakfast that was made all the more better with a couple of beers before noon on #beersaturday.
Who else has beer for breakfast?
Actually there was a method to my madness..
This morning I had to visit a local pub to perform a mystery shop.
This involved having two beers and some breakfast.
The beers as you see sitting in their branded glasses are a pint of Budweiser and a pint of Corona.
I loved the Budweiser glass. And to be honest it has been years probably decades since I last drank a pint of Budweiser. I am sure it would have a bottle or can back when living in Florida.
World Renowed
I wondered how they got away with their name, as I always thought the name was a Czech name and brewery, so I just did a little digging for this post.
The name "Budweiser" is a German derivative meaning "from Budweis," a city in the Czech Republic with a long history of brewing. This has led to a long-running trademark dispute with a Czech brewery that also uses the name "Budweiser."
I know people call it Bud and I have seen cans of Bud aroundthe world ...
The result of this dispute is a complex patchwork of trademark rights around the world:
According to gemini...
In the United States, Canada, and several other countries, Anheuser-Busch holds the exclusive right to the "Budweiser" name. Therefore, the Czech beer is sold under the name "Czechvar."
In most of Europe, including the Czech Republic, Budweiser Budvar has the right to the name. As a result, the American beer is often sold as "Bud" to avoid legal issues.
In some countries, like the United Kingdom, both breweries have been allowed to use the name "Budweiser," which can be confusing for consumers.
I must admit it tasty very light, I did wonder if I had been brought Budweiser light by mistake.
But when the food was brought I was assured that yes it was a pint of Budweiser.
Tuck in, they pub did well, drinks brought 2 minutes after I ordered on their app, and the larger Scottish breakfasts brought 6 minutes after the order was submitted!
The Budweiser was drunk first. It was clean and refreshing but most certainly not a heavy pint.
The best bit was the glass, I loved it. I am sucker for branded glasses though!
It was an okay pint of lager.
The crown at the bottom!
I must admit that the biggest surprise was seeing a crown at the bottom of the glass, until I was reminded it is branded as "The King of Beers." I don't agree with that lol but heyho each to their own and all that.
The crown I thought would have been on the Corona glass.
Plenty of cheap clubs at the pub chain!
Finished
That was all done.
Budweiser drunk and Corona drunk and I think I will give the nod to the Budweiser. They were both light drinks that went with the food easy enough.
The Scottish traditional breakfast
Of the three, the breakfast won it for me.
Can you identify all the ingredients?

Bacon, black pudding, chorizo, beans, eggs, bread! Everything looks delicious. I only drink beer before noon when I go to the beach. At the beach, there are no rules about when to drink beer. Have a nice Saturday and hug, Ed.
Rules are meant to be broken Nancy!
The potato scone is the only one you are missing.
Show me the beach, so here is a beach hug Nancy :)
Cheers! That your mystery shopping is fun and cool. I hope I understand correctly, because I did that for a while, but my wife and I had to buy perfumes, soaps, and personal care products. It wasn't as interesting as yours, so I quickly lost interest. But beer and English/Scottish breakfast, that's something I'd gladly do again :)
Well I prefer doing the food ones, you know the pubs, Indian restaurants, Italian restaurants etc. Although tomorrow I am getting my eye exam, so there are all sorts of ones over here. This particular one I do about once a month. Sometimes breakfast and sometimes later in the day. Hehe they are fun to do!
that is nice that you become a mystery shopper Ed, although here some server will see you as a weird customer for havign two beers for breakfast. still too early. !LOLZ !PIZZA
Hehe I often do this particular pub and you have to order what they tell you, so quite often the pub know who you are, and you get very fast and great service lol
Beer for breakfast, man, that's cool and wild. But at least you had it while heaving foods, still not bad haha. I'm not that knowledgeable in beer, is it really okay to have that, that early?
Haha oh yes, I have had enough early morning beer without food especially when I was younger and going to support my football teak hehe! You can have beer whenever you want, it is your life.
Hehehe. I have tried that beer before. Its not that strong, but still bitter😌😌. Id rather focused on the food😌😌
I think all those lagers you would find bitter. Why I like some of the IPAs that taste of tropical fruits, I amsure you would like them. But the food I know you would eat hehe!
Beers and food go well with some people but, for me I prefer to take my beer after a spicy food. Especially spicy noodles
Hehe I could have my beer anytime.
I don't need to ask! You really had good times there my friend.
Hehe good times indeed!
