This fall, Busch Light, the #2 fastest-growing beer in America¹, is heading back into the woods and duck blinds to celebrate a major milestone: the 20th anniversary of its fan-favorite Hunting Cans.

After 20 years celebrating the hunt, Busch Light is rolling out its most iconic limited-edition Hunting Cans yet—featuring a retro-inspired design that honors two decades of outdoor tradition. Available nationwide starting September 29 at participating retailers in 12-pack, 18-pack, 24-pack, and 30-pack 12oz cans while supplies last. These special cans are the perfect complement to any post-hunt celebration.

Krystyn Stowe, Head of Marketing, Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch said: “For 20 years, Busch Light has shown up for hunters who live for the outdoors and the traditions that come with it. As we celebrate this milestone, our limited-edition Hunting Cans celebrate that shared passion and the post‑hunting moments best enjoyed with a cold and smooth Busch Light.”

Introducing the Busch Light “Canimal” Trophy & Busch Light Camo Beer Deer

To mark two decades as an essential part of hunting season, Busch Light is ensuring fewer hunters go home empty-handed, even if they come up short in the field. Through the national Busch Taxidermy Canimal Sweepstakes, lucky fans can win custom “Canimal Taxidermy Trophies”: wildly detailed, one-of-a-kind mounts handcrafted from Busch Light cans and transformed into iconic hunting trophies, including a duck, deer and hog. Part trophy, part beer art, 100% Busch Light -- the ultimate bragging-rights for the hunter who loves the season as much as the score. Starting September 29 through October 23, beer lovers and outdoor enthusiasts 21+ can enter via @buschbeer social channels for a chance to win their very own Canimal Taxidermy Trophy*.

For those who may not have won and to give more hunters the chance to enjoy a new trophy this season, there will be another sweepstakes on Busch Light social channels, available later in October, to win a special Officially Licensed Busch Light Camo Beer Deer wall mount**. Fans can also purchase their own limited-edition Camo Busch Light Deer at BeerDeerUSA.com.

Additionally, 2026 marks the brand’s sixth year of partnership with Ducks Unlimited, a leading global nonprofit organization. In honor of the specialty Hunting Cans release, Busch Light will donate $50,000 to Ducks Unlimited to support its efforts to preserve and protect our beloved natural surroundings.
