It's a wonderful time to be a beer drinker.

We reported earlier today about how Pabst Blue Ribbon is selling 99-can packs of its brew. Now Anheuser-Busch is announcing the long-awaited return of one of its flavored lagers.
Krystyn Stowe, head of marketing for the Busch family and Natural family for Anheuser-Busch, shared some news with USA TODAY:
"Listening to our fans and giving them what they want is always our top priority. To let them know we've heard them loud and clear - Busch Light Apple is coming back in 2026."
When Can We Expect To See Busch Light Apple in Stores?
The Saint Louis-based beer company has confirmed the return of Busch Light Apple in 2026, but hasn't given an exact date for when fans can expect to see it in stores.
"While we're not spilling all the apples just yet, fans can look forward to the same refreshing-to-the-core, cold and smooth sip that they know and love," added Stowe.
As you may recall from all those college frat parties you went to back in the day, Busch Light wasn't exactly known for going down smooth. The apple flavor changes all that. It has a refreshing yet subtle apple flavor that is perfect for the early days of summer.
When the beer flavor was re-released at the end of April last year, Anheuser-Busch saw sales increase in May.
A Fan-Favorite Brew Since 2020
When Busch Light Apple first came out in July 2020, it was a bit of a phenomenon. Anheuser-Busch says it sold well over a million units in the first month of its initial release.
Since then, the limited edition beer has made sporadic returns. Its success has also led to other varieties of flavored beer, including a Busch Light Peach in June 2023 and Busch Light Lime last year. Earlier this month, Michelob Ultra Zero Lime, a non-alcoholic beer, was released.
Unfortunately, this latest release of Busch Light Apple will once again be limited. We'll be sure to let you know when it's available in stores so you can get a pack or 10 for the summer.
