USA TODAY tries Busch Light Apple beer. See what we thought.
Apple lovers rejoice, “Bapple” is back! Watch USA TODAY reporter Mike Snider taste test the beloved Busch Light Apple beer.
Calling all beer lovers, Bapple is back!
Busch Light Apple, the fan-favorite beer known as Bapple, is officially set to return to stores nationwide by the end of April, but only for a limited time. Anheuser-Busch teased the return of the apple-flavored beer earlier this year on X.
Since its debut in 2020, the apple-flavored beer has developed a devoted fan base, often selling out quickly during prior limited releases. The beer has since returned to shelves for limited runs in 2021, 2022 and in 2025. Last year, while on shelves, the beverage captured more market share during its first month available (May 2025) than any other brand and sold 1.2 million cases, according to Anheuser-Busch.

The apple-flavored beer will be available in six-packs of 16-ounce cans, as well as 12-packs, 24-packs and 30-packs of 12-ounce cans, plus 25-ounce single cans.
