Busch Light Craze Comes To Joliet Liquor Store

JOLIET, IL — If you're a fan of Busch Light and you like the taste of peach beer, Tuesday is a day that's been marked on your calendar. Hundreds of 30-packs of limited edition peach-flavored Busch Light beer arrived in Joliet. They're available for purchase inside the John's Beverage Warehouse at 3001 West Jefferson St. —across from Inwood.

John's Beverage opened in January after acquiring the business ownership. The liquor store was previously called Joe's Beverage.

On Tuesday, Amber Pennuto posted on the Joliet Area Bar and Restaurant Guide proclaiming, "YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING John's Beverage Warehouse has finally received Busch Light PEACH Come grab your case today for only $19.99 while supplies last."

And within four hours, Amber's Facebook post on behalf of John's Beverage had 86 comments and a whopping 44 Facebook shares.

Realizing something big's going on, Joliet Patch visited John's Beverage late Tuesday afternoon to interview the staff and learn more about this peach-beer madness involving Busch Light.

"As soon as we posted (on Facebook) people started coming," John's Beverage staff remarked. "We knew that this is going to be the hot seller item. People have been inquiring for a month. We have almost 240 cases."

John's Beverage is open 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.

The staff for John's Beverage explained that in years past, Busch Light produced an apple-flavored beer during the summer. But this year, Busch Light came out with the peach beer.

It's available at John's Beverage at $19.99 for 30 cans .

But, if you're not in the mood for Busch Light peach beer, John's Beverage wants people to know that "we have a vast selection of craft beers and a vast selection of tequilas."
