Busch drops Camo C.U.P. in time for hunting season

Busch Light releases Camo C.U.P.

With hunting season just around the corner, Busch Light is playing the part. The macro brewer has released the Camo C.U.P. (can utility piece), following the trending big cup movement. The special vessel also celebrates the 18th anniversary of the Busch Light camo can.

The special edition canisters come in three different themes — deer, duck, or turkey — and are outfitted with tactical gear like game calls and rope. Engineered to look like a tumbler, these 40-ounce insulating vessels are dressed up in camouflage, allowing to blend into the great outdoors.

Busch Light first dropped the camo can back in 2006, much to the delight of thirsty hunters all over the U.S. Since, the company has partnered with organizations that look after the many wild areas hunters rely on. This year, Busch Light has teamed up with Ducks Unlimited for the fourth year and will donate $45,000 to the non-profit and its wetlands conservation efforts.

A tongue-in-cheek move, the release of these cups points some fun at America’s current obsession with oversized ups (although SNL beat them to it). Busch Light’s versions come with a host of bells and whistles, all befitting of the hunting theme. The deer vessel comes with a faux antler, rope, monocular, and trail cam. The turkey edition features a carabiner, compass, turkey call, and tape measure.

We can’t guarantee that a C.U.P. will make you a better shot, but it will chill your beer and outfit you with a bit more gear to enjoy nature. If you want one, though, you can’t just add it to your online cart — before October 15, follow @BuschBeer on Instagram, X, or Facebook, and enter for a chance to win one by commentingwith#BuschcamoCUP & #Sweepstakes on select posts.

Classic fall-flavored dark beers you should be drinking this season
Great Lakes

If autumn were a flavor, what would it be? I know this task is difficult, so let’s make it easier by thinking in beer terms. What beers taste the most like fall? Is it a pumpkin beer? Maybe an Oktoberfest beer? How about a smoked beer that emulates the aromas of a fall campfire? All of these are absolutely correct. That’s because fall is full of flavors, and the beer you drink reflects you and your personal tastes.

Fall is also definitely a dark beer. There’s no doubt about that. Cold nights, short days. It’s the perfect time for dark, malty, warming beers.

Heaven Hill Phoenix

Everyone loves comeback stories, right? In 1996, lightning struck the Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery and destroyed it in a fire. Driven by wind, the 1935 distillery burned to the ground. The inferno destroyed around 100,000 aging barrels. To honor this event, Heaven Hill is releasing Heaven Hill Phoenix, a limited-edition, one-time 18-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

1792’s popular wheated bourbon just got a full-proof upgrade
Bottle, Liquor, Whiskey

Wheated bourbon has a reputation for being the soft, easygoing member of the bourbon mashbill family. Barton 1792 is betting it can hit hard too, with its new 1792 Wheated Full Proof, a 125-proof version of its 1792 Sweet Wheat bourbon.

Sweet Wheat first came out in 2015 and uses wheat in place of the rye found in most bourbon mashbills, which tends to give the whiskey a softer, rounder profile.
