What is Budweiser Zero?
Budweiser is AB InBev’s American lager, first brewed in 1876; in the UK the full-strength beer is brewed at Magor in south Wales. Budweiser Zero replaced Budweiser Prohibition Brew in the UK in spring 2020. It isn’t connected to Budweiser Budvar, the Czech state-owned brewery that has been in a trademark dispute with Budweiser’s owners for more than a century.
Budweiser Brewing Group describes a crisp taste and a smooth finish, and says it’s brewed with Budweiser’s barley, hops and malt, beechwood aged and cold filtered; it doesn’t say how the alcohol is kept out. It’s brewed with rice as well as barley malt, the label says. The UK label says it’s brewed in Belgium by InBev Belgium.
The label gives 14 kcal and 1.7g of sugars per 100ml, about 46 kcal a bottle. Budweiser Brewing Group’s own page says “zero sugar”, which doesn’t match its label. We haven’t scored it yet.
