Budweiser Zero 0% Alcohol Free Lager Beer Can, 24 x 330 ml

Product Information

The downside to BZ I’ve found, is availability. No surprise that it is not carried in most smaller retail outlets or even the larger chain supermarkets you might frequent, so buying it in larger quantities off the floor (warm) is advisable when possible if you want to keep some on-hand without having a dedicated beer fridge. But if you do have the latter, be sure to adjust the thermostat to compensate the absence of anti-freeze. I like to keep mine set just above the freezing point for standard beer, which renders BZ somewhat of a slush puppy after a few hours. Budweiser “Zero” (formerly “Prohibition Brew”) is the US brewery’s 0% non-alcoholic lager. Get tasting notes and nutritional info in this review. Budweiser’s owner AB-InBev wants 20% of its beer to be alcohol-free by 2025. I wasn’t convinced Prohibition was going to help it reach that goal and I feel the same with Zero, despite the new recipe. Currently, the top-selling non-alcoholic beer in the United States is Heineken 0.0, according to Nielsen. The Dutch brewer launched the booze-free product in the US last year following years of strong sales in Europe. Heineken called its US launch a “success” earlier this year and said it’s delivering double-digit growth to its low- and no-alcohol beer unit.

Pit stops are still necessary to drain the tank, but that’s just a routine part of the event that usually takes place during caution laps. Budweiser states that it is using the latest technology to brew Bud Zero. However, they have not disclosed their methods of brewing. The beer’s ingredients include barley, rice, hops, and water, as well as “natural flavors.” We're proud to present Budweiser Zero. The same great Budweiser taste, crisp refreshment, and smooth finish we've been making for over 100 years, just with zero alcohol. Uncompromisingly Budweiser brewed for those who make zero compromise. I found a few mixed opinions while doing the research. Most people said it tastes just like regular Budweiser, while a small percentage thought it was watered down or bland. Overall, the majority of people seem to really enjoy Budweiser Zero and say it tastes just like a normal Budweiser but without the alcohol. I agree that the similarities are impressive. Alcohol Free Brew: How it’s MadeThe beer had a soft launch in March and it’s debuting a national ad campaign featuring Wade beginning Wednesday. So far, the initial reaction from drinkers has “pleased” the company, according to Rustgi. Bevo was a non-alcoholic malt drink or “near beer” that came in under 0.5% ABV to get around the laws of the time. It fell out of favour in the late 20s when everyone was allowed to get drunk again. The first high-profile name on this list is a cut above its rivals Heineken and Budweiser, whose non-alcoholic offerings we found to be underwhelming. The flavour to San Miguel’s 0,0 is distinctly sweet, but once that fades, you can really start to enjoy a pleasantly authentic bitter flavour. It’s not our favourite on this list, but it’s a decent non-alcoholic beer from a major international brewery. Retail beer sales have jumped 20% since mid-March, when Covid-19 began spreading in the United States, according to Nielsen. Non-alcoholic beer sales jumped 35% in the same time period, the firm said.

That trend has recently extended into the beer market as both large and small companies rediscover non-alcoholic beers. Athletic Brewing, for instance, is a small craft brewery that only makes zero-alcohol beers and doubled production to keep up with demand. If you’re more interested in craft beer and how that tastes, Lagunitas IPNA and Athletic Brewing are great places to start. Budweiser Zero vs Bud Light Budweiser Zero is a light beer that contains fewer calories than Budweiser and Bud Light. Interestingly, it contains twice as many carbs as Bud Light.Anheuser-Busch is the largest brewing company globally. As a result, it has an extensive network of breweries in locations like Baldwinsville, New York, Columbus, Ohio, and its flagship brewery and headquarters, St. Louis, Missouri. Therefore, Bud Zero is brewed in various locations throughout the United States. Is Budweiser Zero Really Alcohol-Free? The popularity of so-called healthier alcoholic alternatives is growing, as shown by the rise of low-calorie spiked seltzers and light beers. For Budweiser, Bud Zero creates an an opportunity for the brand to capitalize on the trend.
