Billy Busch is a renowned American businessman, author, and third-generation heir to the legendary Anheuser-Busch brewing empire—a company that became a global powerhouse with over $15 billion in annual revenue and more than 150 years of legacy in the beer industry. As the son of August Busch Jr., Billy grew up immersed in one of America’s most iconic family businesses.

Carrying forward the family torch, he founded William K. Busch Brewing Company in 2011, building on the values of quality and tradition that defined the Anheuser-Busch name. His entrepreneurial journey reflects over 30 years of experience in the beverage and business world. Billy is also the author of the bestselling book Family Reins: The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty, offering a raw, inside look at the triumphs and trials of the Busch family and the rise of a brewing dynasty.
