Tastes change over time. A long time ago, a warm drink was the norm. Men preferred beaver hats. It was considered taboo to name a baseball field after drinking beer — at least according to Major League Baseball in the middle of 20The tenth century.
Much like outdoor heroes, Busch beer has the kind of original story that deserves to be told around a campfire. The year was 1953. Dwight Eisenhower was the new man in the White House, and the Cold War had been raging for six years.
In St. Louis, August Anheuser “Gussie” Busch was the president and CEO of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company. When AB bought St. Louis Cardinals, the brewery has become part of America’s favorite outdoor pastime. For marketing purposes, Gussie wanted to rename Sportsman’s Park after the company’s flagship drink: Budweiser Stadium. But the choice was turned down by an MLB commissioner who had reservations about naming a baseball stadium after a type of beer. So, Josie named Busch Stadium after him.
With the pitch crafted, Josie continued to dominate, giving the last name to his brewery’s newest beer: Bosch Bavarian. After its launch in 1955, AB carried the German name for 24 years, then finally dropped it in 1979 – Gussie finally laughed with his name Bush beer.
In the decades that followed, Busch continued to expand off the field and increasingly associated itself with more outdoor amusement. Most iterations of the brand feature snow-capped mountains, and a series of promotions revolve around causes intended to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts.
Bush is a sponsor of Ducks Unlimited, a private organization for the protection and hunting of waterfowl and wetlands. Bush organized elaborate fundraising campaigns For the National Forest Foundation, the official nonprofit partner of the US Forest Service. Recently, Busch offered a discount program based on the number of inches of snow that fell in your home state during the winter. And sometimes Busch just pays random farmers to advertise in their barns.
An American-style light lager, Bush is made with a special blend of barley, rice, and hops. In what was most likely an oversight, Bosch’s recipe was not among those trade secrets allegedly robbed In 2019. Another secret to Bush’s success? Easy to drink, with a flavor usually described as mild malt with little to no hops.
Compared to other Macro Brite, Busch has particularly slim stats: 4.3 percent alcohol by volume and 114 calories. Meanwhile, Budweiser contains 5 percent ABV and 145 calories. Busch’s extra-light credentials are sure to make it an ideal beer for the active outdoor enthusiast, especially those who exert themselves at high altitudes.
Throughout its existence, Busch Beer had a lot of logos. Many of these slogans indicate what beer is supposed to taste like. (For whatever reason, comparisons are often more about the outdoors than about taste.)
In the early years, the brewery said Busch was “clear and bright as Mountain Air.” Then, in 2006, when the beer was first released in camouflaged cans, it was “as cold as a mountain stream.” And these days, it’s called the “sound of recovery.” voice, perhaps, Which can fill the largest mountain meadows: “Booooow”.
Whatever the taste of Busch, one thing is clear: Busch is an easy-to-drink outdoor beer.
