dailyloe.com – Anheuser-Busch is bringing back its fan-favorite Busch Light Apple beer for a limited nationwide release. The brewer will release the apple-flavored light beer, nicknamed ‘Bapple’, by the end of April 2026. This marks another seasonal return for the popular beverage. The release will be limited in availability.
The beer first debuted in 2020 and has developed a devoted following. It often sells out quickly during its limited releases. Fans are eager to snatch up the seasonal offering before it disappears. Shoppers may need to visit several stores or act quickly.
In May 2025, the last release sold 1.2 million cases. First-month sales were higher than any other brand, according to Anheuser-Busch. The 2026 release will again be a limited-time offering. Availability will be while supplies last.
Busch Light Apple is expected to arrive in stores in late April 2026. Anheuser-Busch has not given a single nationwide sale date. Some retailers may get the beer earlier than others. It will be available in options like six-packs and 12-packs.
To find the beer, customers can use the Busch locator tool. They must select ‘BUSCH LT APPLE’ in the dropdown menu. Then they enter their ZIP code. The tool will show stores where it is available.
Fans nicknamed the beer ‘Bapple’. Supporters say it stands out due to its sweeter, fruit-forward taste. The taste does not stray too far from a traditional light beer finish. It is one of the most beer-like apple options.
The beer stays firmly in light beer territory. It has significantly fewer calories than most hard ciders. It tastes more like a beer than a cider. This appeals to beer drinkers wanting apple flavor without cider.
