The Busch Family Brewed on MTV

Lol. Such trash.

It's called branding.

I knew a Busch once. Even dined at her Palm Beach estate. If she’s still alive, she’s mortified.

I would only watch this if there is a Winchester-like curse on them and they are picked off one by one by the spirits of people who died drinking their low quality swill.

I only like their beans. Their beer is trash.

Nope...not for me and I've just recommitted to buying local craft brews. Screw this entitled, pasty lot.

Well aren't they just awfully white.

The son has a sex tape out a la Kim Kardashian.

How awful. Whatever happened to dignity? A wealthy and prominent family deciding to make a reality television show...

Let me guess, they're deplorables too...

What next, the Jacksons? LOL

Undignified.

They have seven children - full quiver idiots, no doubt.

August Busch IV used to be handsome when he was young. Now, not so much.

Clearly, the blond guy is not spending his days drinking the family beer with that body.

His body’s not that great. I actually think it looks like he drinks plenty of beer.

I remember something about a car wreck, a dead girl and a heir apparent naked when the police caught up with him. Was I dreaming?

So stupid.

Did any on them do one iota to deserve the money they have?

Which Busch had the dead woman in his house? Auggie? Gussie?

This is the only Busch I'll watch....

I'd only watch if this was a re-imagining of The Lottery and they'd have to stone a family member in very episode

Just from a branding standpoint wouldn't this have been a better fit for MTV's sibling CMT?

Which son has a sex tape out?

This looks even worse than the A-B bilge that's supposed to be beer.

For background o this trainwreck of a family read “Bitter Brew: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser-Busch and America's Kings of Beer“.

Having the name Augustus (Auggie) appears to sentence a child to periods of stupidity as an adult.

“In what was more an acquisition than a sale, Brazilian and Belgian investment group InBev took Anheuser-Busch over in 2008. The CEO at the time was August Busch IV, the great-great-grandson of AB founder Adolphus Busch. What happened was that between Gussie’s death in 1989 and the 2008 acquisition, various family members had sold an estimated 25 percent of the family-owned business.

According to Forbes, this made the Busch family powerless to stop the $52 billion buyout bid from InBev. The merger of Anheuser-Busch and InBev, named Anheuser-Busch InBev, created the world’s largest brewery, bringing together such iconic brands as Budweiser, Michelob, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, Bass, Labatt and Beck’s under one roof. According to a 2009 Associated Press article, this hostile takeover “turned a family-led company that spared little expense into one that is focused intently on cost-cutting and profit margins, while rethinking the way it sells beer.”

The article goes on to detail how InBev cut jobs and perks for employees, reworked the compensation system, and canceled some of the iconic Anheuser-Busch sports deals.

As for the current Busch family members, they run the gamut as to what they’ve been up to since 2008. Then-CEO August IV has had a number of legal troubles, including the accidental overdose death of his girlfriend Adrienne Martin at his home in December 2010.

August IV’s son, Adolphus V, has recently gotten into the cannabis business, telling Denver’s Westword, “My family has always been very supportive. My mother and sisters questioned the industry when I first got into it, but they still supported my decision. My father was on board from the moment I got into the industry. He saw the potential and knew that this would be the industry I could create a legacy in.”

August IV’s first cousin, William K. “Billy” Busch, started his own brewing company in 2011, the William K. Busch Brewing Co., maker of Kräftig beer, but that company shut down in 2019. Billy Sr.’s is now starring on a new MTV reality show, “The Busch Family Brewed,” alongside his wife, Christi, and their seven children. Busch’s eighth (actually first) child, a woman named Scarlett from a previous relationship, will likely not be featured on the show.“

This is pure stay at home frau bait, fantasy reality TV shows

Seventh-tier Kardashians.

Ahhh nope.

In the 80's, Billy bit off part of a guy's ear in a bar fight.

More recently, he assaulted a 6th grade boy by shoving him into a wall after the boy and Billy's own 6th grade son got into an altercation.

Harry Caray was fired from doing color for the Saint Louis Cardinals because he was caught doing Susan, Auggie's wife.

More proof that money is not synonymous with class.

The majority of D-list famewhores need to make a living. This family has no excuse.

Mmm Auggie. I can’t help it. I love dumb privileged white trash blond boys like him.

White trash, correction very very wealthy white trash, but still white trash nonetheless

More proof that money does not buy class

IS IS PRETTY MIND BOGGLING? i mean why? they don't need the money that's for sure, they DO have a reputation of a worldwide organization and product to consider, if anything, one would think they would want and keep HUGE Privacy? instead, their going the reality show route because???..

do they think they are doing p.r. and advertising for the city of st.louis and bringing him interest and tourism? newsflash, that city doesn't need you for this, their doing just fine with their stanley cup championship, their perennial contending cardinal baseball team, the arch, and the overall history of that city.

i don't know but i believe their ancestors would be rolling in their grave seeing this current family acting this way and doing a show like this!...

and yes, their all white trash without any redeeming values.... embarrassing...

just out of curiosity, why is MTV still named MTV? what's the point?... simply for brand recognition?.... because those under what the age of 30 have no idea what MTV stood for?

The show was totally stupid and inane. Nothing happened and there are absolutely no likable characters. And Gussie, the blond himbo featured above, is about two years away from getting hair transplants.

Somebody above referenced August IV having a son. He never had kids. He was briefly married in is 40s to some heiress and they had no children. He's spent most of his life failing to live up to his father's expectations and getting away with various crimes, including drunk driving that got a waitress killed and supplying his girlfriend with enough drugs that she would overdose in his bed.

The Busch family is the St. Louis version of Trump's claim he could shoot someone on the streets of NYC and get away with it. One of August Jr's sons shot and killed a friend at close range on the family estate and their first call was to their p.r. man, who met the police at the gate when they finally arrived. The killer was given a slap on the wrist and now runs a very lucrative beer distributorship.

Harry Caray had been the announcer for the Cardinals and somewhat unwisely got involved with Susie Busch, wife of August III, not Auggie, who was his father. Auggie was head of the brewery, which owned the Cardinals, and was still married at the time to Trudy, his third wife and the mother of Billy, who is patriarch of the MTV series. August III later staged a coup and threw his father out as head of the company and sold Auggie's beloved Cardinals to a group of local investors.

Anyway, Harry and Susie were involved in a car accident on Kingshighway in St. Louis and word got out. They were both married at the time. Caray got sacked and went on to greater glory as the voice of the Cubs.

Why can’t a white family do trash tv. As opposed to the Kardashian clan, which is doing everything it can to appear more ethnic for cred. They’re gross.

[quote]S IS PRETTY MIND BOGGLING? i mean why? they don't need the money that's for sure,

Many people have a need for attention.

Should be The Busch Family Stewed since all they seem to do is drink or talk about drinking or maybe the Brood Brewed.

Because OP they saw how the Kardashians became Billionaires just by grifting

So where is the sex tape?
