America: fights Germany in the war. Drinks Budweiser and measures in fahrenheit.
Budweiser is an American beer in a Czech style, so… ?
Budweiser Budvar is a Pilsner style beer brewed in České Budějovice. Whatever Anheuser-Busch sells is anything but Czech style beer and Bud Light quite possibly isn't even a beer in certain jurisdictions.
The wacky Fahrenheit scale, invented by Daniel Fahrenheit 300 years ago, was based on a scale concocted by Ole Rømer, an astronomer who was the first to show that light has at a finite speed. On the Romer scale a brine solution freezes at 0 and plain water boils at 60. Why Rømer didn't use the same substance for both measurements is a mystery. Fahrenheight divided Rømer's degrees by 4 to make the scale finer, so in his version the brine froze at 0, normal water at 30, and human body temp was 90. These numbers had to be adjusted later as more accurate thermometers were made.

Old and busted Celsius cosplayer.

I don't know what's so great about Fahrenheit, but for some reason, it's the temperature system preferred by everyone who's ever walked on the moon
