I just put it in quotes because I have some fundamental aversion how the term is often [politically] used and instrumentalized. >> >> Wasn't "Bud" (if you mean the abbreviated form of "Budweiser") a beer >> from the Czech Republic?

This is interesting. - Looking that up I just read about a court case from 1907 where the US American company who was inspired by the Czech Budweiser beer and the original European company agreed that the US American company may call their beer Budweise only on the North-American continent, and the Czech company in Europe. Various name conflicts concerning that trade name were continued until 2014 and no clear "winner" evolved, they write, and that in the EU they consequently sell that [American] beer as "Bud". The bottles I remember to have seen here in Germany was [1] (the Czech one). I don't recall to have seen the US companies bottle [2] here. (But that's just me, of course.)
