ST. LOUIS – The William K. Busch Brewing Company announced it is shutting down all operations of Kräftig and Kräftig Light beers due to market demand.
Billy Busch founded the company in 2011 to create a second chapter in the Busch family brewing history.
“After careful consideration, the William K. Busch Brewing Company has decided to shut down,” Billy Busch said. “I want to thank all of our customers, retailers, suppliers, and vendors who have supported us over the last eight years. I’ve always been passionate about brewing, because it’s in my blood. I hope to one day return to this great American-led industry.”
Kräftig will continue to be available at retailers and other outlets while supplies last, as the company winds down its operations, a spokesperson said. William K. Busch Brewing Company predicts that inventory will last through September of 2019.
William K. Busch Brewing Company was founded in 2011 and produced two premium American lagers – Kräftig and Kräftig Light. Both lagers were brewed with only the finest, all-natural ingredients – pure water, Hallertau hops, malt from two- and six-row barley, and proprietary yeast.
