Billy Busch, who has recently announced wider availability of two new beers from his Busch Family Brewing & Distilling Company, faced assault charges from a 2017 incident.
Billy Busch, great grandson of Adolphus Busch, has made a new foray into the world. No, it isn’t another short-lived reality TV show a la 2020’s The Busch Family Brewed but rather a return to the meat-and-potatoes of the Busch family.
It’s a beer. Actually, it’s two beers.
Last week, the Busch Family Brewing & Distilling Company announced the wide availability of its two inaugural brews, the Adolphus German Style Pilsner and Gussie Bavarian Lager, from “an heir of the Busch Family legacy.” Previously, the Adolphus could be found at a few area spots but is now at locations such as Café Napoli, Culpepper’s, Mike Duffy’s Pub and Grill and Sam’s Steakhouse, among others.
Both were brewed by Urban Chestnut Brewing Company and under the supervision of Josh Hearst, the head brewer of Busch Family Brewing & Distilling.
“My family and I are carrying on the tradition of brewing some of the finest beers in the country,” Busch said in a press release, adding that the two were meant to honor his great grandfather and father respectively.
One dares not speculate on what the Busch forefathers would make of these two beers nor what they’d make of their so-called heir, who has several dark spots on his public record. In 2018, Billy Busch faced assault charges for a 2017 incident in which he took intervening in a spat between his son and another sixth grader at a basketball game much too far. Busch bloodied the child’s nose and pushed him against a wall, pinning him.
