Hell, a lot of Mexican beer companies were founded by German immigrants and there is even a Bavaria beer company there. Their beers are not bad even if I prefer those made by the Modelo company, especially Negra Modelo.

Many beers around Europe have Teutonic-sounding names, as the influence of German brewers is wide - extending even to the far east. And as the beer seems to date from 1925, it's a bit late to be chasing after horses that have bolted.

You must never had a Bavaria sitting outside in Amsterdam. It is fine beer.

Dutch win right to keep Bavaria beer name
Friday 03 July 2009
Dutch brewing group Bavaria has won the right to keep its brand name in an legal battle with German brewers, news agency Bloomberg reports
The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg on Thursday said brewers from the German area of Bavaria could not use EU rules protecting regional food names to challenge the Dutch brewers use of the Bavaria brand name, which dates back to 1925.
'We are not free-riding on the German brewers reputation and we have never in any way pretended to be German,' Gerard van der Wal, a lawyer for the Dutch beer maker told Bloomberg. 'We always said that we are a typical Dutch brewer.'
