So what's the naming convention in europe? Is "Budweiser" the czech stuff (yum) and "Bud" the horsepiss?

"Bud" is certainly the horsepiss. A good bottle of Budweiser on the other hand ....

And it's quite a culture shock for a European to drink your stuff to say the least.

Is there any good German music that I might like? Given that I don't like metal or dance (preferably something that doesn't sound too eurovision-y)

It's difficult recommending completely outside my tastes and not knowing your taste at all. I assume you are referring to pop music. I'm sure there are tons of excellent underground things which I don't even know.
There are some eclectic singer-songwriter and hip hop things which could probably be considered to be good or so (concentrating on German lyrics only)
There's some famous punk rock things which I mostly dislike.
Of course, all the 80s stuff of the Neue Deutsche Welle:
Sure I can't win you over for some mild metal? Maybe with a bit of punkrock and medieval flair?
Most legendary: The german Pioneers of electronic music
And here's a political one with Cologne German lyrics and German subtitles

Yeah, (for any Euros visiting here) you have to check out craft breweries to get decent American beer.

You dont like metal! Heretic!
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I haven't listened to much metal. They scare me
Most of what I've listened to was pop (I don't like a large proportion of it) and alternative rock and I've listened to a little bit of Fado, Morna and Bossa Nova (I want to learn Portuguese)
I've listened to a bit of foreign music to familiarise myself with some languages e.g Hebrew, Polish and Spanish
I'm a bit of language geek by the way

We have to change that! Half of it, like the whole euro power metal stuff is not even trying to be superficially scary.
Concerning the scary part, Here's a seasonal antidote to that:
