Popular Beer Brand Announces Big Comeback After Years of Fan Requests
A once-popular beer variety said to be "refreshing to the core" is finally heading back to shelves.
The "zestful" lager was first released in 2020 and then reprised its role as a limited-time offer twice in the two years that followed. Unfortunately, as any fan of Busch Light Apple will tell ya, the brand stopped offering it after its 2022 release.After years of fan requests, Anheuser-Busch is finally bringing back Busch Light Apple, which the company said offers a "smooth sip that Busch Light fans know and love" just with an added "zestful bite of crisp apple flavor" that "leaves a touch of sweet on the frontend, with a clear beer finish on the back end."
'One in every three comments on Busch Light's social posts is from fans urging us to bring back Busch Light Apple, and we've read every single one,' Krystyn Stowe, head of marketing at Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch said in a statement. 'We have always listened to our fans and met them exactly where they are," Stowe added.
To help announce the highly anticipated return of the LTO, the beloved beer company enlisted Ronald Wayne, who famously liquidated his 10 percent stake in Apple–the now booming tech giant he co-founded—for just $800 in 1976.

"Back then, I wasn't confident enough to see the opportunity in front of me. This time, I know a good thing when I see it,' Wayne joked. 'When Busch Light Apple comes around, you don't hesitate, you stock up. This is one opportunity I'm not letting slip away."
Busch Light Apple will be available for purchase at nationwide retailers that already stock other Anheuser-Busch products beginning this May while supplies last.
Those 21+ who want a chance to win $800 in beer money to stock up on their "favorite liquid asset" can enter the sweepstakes by commenting #BLAppleStockUp and #Sweepstakes on Busch Light's social posts from Wednesday, April 30 through Wednesday, May 14.

Busch Light Debuts New Beer Flavor Likely to Fly Off Shelves This Summer
Busch Light Debuts New Beer Flavor Likely to Fly Off Shelves This Summer originally appeared on Parade. Move over, Bapple, a new limited-edition Busch Light flavor is coming to town. The fan-favorite lager only recently amped fans up with the highly-anticipated comeback of its ever-popular Busch Light Apple (or "Bapple," as some would say), and now it's looking to recreate the hype with the release of its newest "fruit-forward" variety, Busch Light Lime. On Monday, the Anheuser-Busch brand announced the arrival of its latest creation, noting it would only be around for a limited time, just like Busch Light Apple and its prior peach-flavored offering. Related: It features a "crisp, refreshing lime-flavored lager with a touch of sweet on the front end and a clean beer finish on the back," according to a spokesperson for the brand, who also called it "the perfect combination for a sunny summer day outside." 'We're kicking off this summer with our second seasonal drop so our fans can enjoy camping and post hikes with their favorite cold, smooth beer in hand,' said Krystyn Stowe, head of marketing at Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch, in a statement. 'Between Busch Light Lime's debut and the return of Busch Light Apple, 2025 is the summer of flavor, and our fans love our fruit-forward flavored beers. Listening to our fans and bringing them the innovations they want is our top priority.' Those looking to get their hands on the new Busch Light summer edition can find cans of 12, 24, or 30 at most major retailers–but only in 25 states (Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming) while supplies last. Given how fast Busch Light Apple flew off the shelves, we don't foresee this flavor lasting in-store very long either.

Stonewall Columbus Pride March by the numbers: See the 2025 turnout
The 2025 Stonewall Columbus Pride March had fewer marchers than in 2024, but more volunteers, according to Stonewall Columbus Executive Director Densil Porteous. More than 18,000 people marched in the June 14 parade, around 2,000 people fewer than in 2024. At the same time, over 500 people volunteered for the event, around 100 more than did in 2024. All told, over 650,000 people attended the weekend's Pride events, resulting in a $7.6 million economic impact for local businesses, Columbus and Franklin County, Porteous said in a June 16 press release. "This weekend offered more than a festival—it was a statement. A mass declaration that LGBTQ+ lives matter, that we will not stay silent, and that in joy we find our collective strength," Porteous said in the release. Porteous said certain companies backing out as sponsors this year contributed to the drop in marchers, but many of the volunteers were employees of companies that had chosen not to march. Several companies, including Anheuser-Busch, Lowe's, Nissan, and Walmart, backed out of supporting Stonewall Columbus' 2025 pride celebrations amid a national backlash to diversity, equity and inclusion policies (DEI). Retreats from businesses cost Stonewall Columbus around $125,000 in lost donations, about a fifth of its expected costs for Pride Month celebrations. Donations from the Columbus community and other partners filled the financial gap left by the companies, Porteous previously told The Dispatch. The corporate retreat from supporting Pride events comes as the Trump administration has threatened companies that have DEI practices with investigations and prosecutions. DEI practices in the federal government were ended on day one of Trump's second term via an executive order, USA TODAY reported.
