Busch Light Apple doesn’t make sense. Maybe it doesn’t need to.
Part lager, part cider, perhaps a touch of apple juice, the cheap beer referred to, simply, as “Bapple” defies every convention, and in ways beyond its material makeup.
When Anheuser-Busch discontinued the flavored lager in 2022, its legion of fans began hoarding the beer not by the 6-pack but the pallet.
Of course, such behavior is a common pastime in beer circles, though usually reserved for barrel-aged stouts and rare Belgian lambics — not inexpensive lagers once available at every gas station from Baltimore to Phoenix.
“Before it left shelves in 2022, people chased down trucks.”
Three years later, those countless fans — seemingly of all creeds and demographics — can enjoy their Bapple a little more freely. In fact, they might want to top off their stashes.
