When the Czechoslovakians invented a Lager beer they called it Budweizer and thouhgt a Beer for Kings! It tasted awfull, The Americans invented a beer and called it Budweiser, it was a little better than the Czechoslovakian one and they thought a King of Beers? Maybe they were Texans!

The American Budweiser was set up by some rip off merchant who worked for Budweiser Budwar (the original and tastier).
It therefore is not the king of beers

Budweiser marketing came up with the slogan.. Of course Budweiser so control over 65 percent of beer sells across the globe so i guess they can back up their claim.

When Anheuser-Busch started brewing their beer in St. Louis, they were trying to copy the original Budweiser, brewed in the Czech Republic. That original (known today as Budweiser Budvar in most countries, and as Czechvar in the USA), was very popular with the royal families of Europe, so it was known as "the beer of kings."
The American company couldn't copy that slogan, so they just gave it a twist and called their beer "the king of beers."
Shows you the power of advertising, doesn't it?

Budweiser's slogan was originally the beer of kings but, somehow, someone mixed it up and the company chose to keep it.

It isn't.
Budweiser is vile.
Just for the record, it has no relation to "Budweiser Budvar" from the Czech Republic. They are two totally separate companies. The Czech beer is the real thing.

Beer came first from a small town in the chez republic and became famous when exported to the US and marketed well.
It was the first and therefore is the king.
You can still buy real budweiser (not american) and you can still visit the original town, spelt slightly different

That is just a advertising campaign. They call themselves that as a add thing. It is up too you to decide who has the best beer that you like. Then to you that beer will be the king of beers.

Because it's not fit for a Queen, or even a Princess. It is only the King of Beers in San Francisco, where you can't tell the Kings from the Queens or the Princesses.
