It is an area that includes the city and its surroundings, linked to the city by commuting and migration. It has about 180,000 inhabitants. ===Beer brewing=== [[File:Pivovar Budvar - budova 2.jpg|thumb|Budweiser Budvar Brewery]] [[File:Budvar UK.JPG|thumb|140px|Budweiser Budvar, one of the world's most famous beers]] {{main|Budweiser Budvar Brewery}} Since its foundation in the 13th century, České Budějovice has been well known for brewing. In 1351, they obtained the so-called "mile right" from the king, i.e. that no pubs outside the city can be located within a radius of 10 km, and from 1410, not even breweries.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pivovarnictví|url=http://www.encyklopedie.c-budejovice.cz/clanek/pivovarnictvi|work=Encyklopedie Českých Budějovic|publisher=NEBE|language=cs|access-date=2024-10-19}}</ref> For a time, the town was the imperial brewery for the [[Holy Roman Emperor]], and ''Budweiser Bier'' (i.e. beer from Budweis) became,<ref>See the entry for Monday, 4 February 2008 on ''365 Amazing Trivia Facts'' (Workman Publishing, 2008).</ref> along with ''[[Pilsner]]'' from [[Plzeň]], one of the best-known [[lager]]s. Brewing remains a major industry. The largest brewery, founded in 1895, is [[Budweiser Budvar Brewery|Budweiser Budvar]], which has legal rights to market its beer under the "Budweiser" brand name in much of Europe. The same product is also sold elsewhere under the names "Budvar" and "Czechvar" due to [[Budweiser trademark dispute|legal disagreements]] with [[Anheuser-Busch]] over the Budweiser brand and Anheuser-Busch sells its beer as "Bud" in most of the European Union. The [[Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch)|American lager]] was originally brewed as an imitation of the famous Bohemian original, but over time has developed its own identity and attained remarkable commercial success. Anheuser-Busch has made offers to buy out the Czech brewing company in order to secure global rights to the name "Budweiser", but the Czech government has refused all such offers, regarding the Czech Budweiser name as a matter of national pride. The oldest operating and second largest brewery, founded in 1795, was renamed to "Pivovar Samson", replacing its original German name "[[Budweiser Bier Bürgerbräu|Budweiser Bürgerbräu]]" during the [[Communist Czechoslovakia|communist period]]. It also exported, mostly under the "Samson" and "Crystal" labels. Recently, they reacquired naming rights for Budweiser for Europe while offering "B. B. Bürgerbräu" in the US since 2005.
