Anheuser-Busch InBev, which will soon make almost 30% of the world’s beer, wants to serve more low and alcohol-free brews to drinkers trying to live a healthier lifestyle.
The Belgium-based brewer, on the verge of buying its largest rival SABMiller, has forecast lower and zero strength beer will grow from a small base to make up 20% of its sales by the end of 2025.

Budweiser is like making love in a canoe...

Witchpee describes Bud.
I love drinking beer, but hating getting drunk. Whenever I can find it, I drink Bud Select 55 or Miller 64, both at about 2.8% ABV. I can roll through them, not worry about DUI and not feel like crap the next morning. I love a 6.5% IPA as much as the next guy, but these work much better for me.
I can’t remember the last time I had a Budweiser (or Miller or Coors for that matter). While I hate the term “craft beer,” I do like beer with flavor.
I love that my local Tom Thumb is now carrying Boulevard Tank 7. Opposite of O'Doul's.
Years ago when I was young, I had no desire for beer...it really tasted awful.
Then, I was in Germany and learned that beer could be wonderful.
Thanks to the profileration of microbreweries, there are great beers availble here now.
Bud products are not on that list, to me anyway.
I now cut regular full-flavor beer with club soda. You can slowly work the alcohol content down to exactly where you want it getting used to the taste instead of a sudden watery shock. I live in the desert and I can drink 2.5% beer as a thirst quencher all day.
You think you might have a hangover the next morning?
Simple fix!
Take two aspirins (the real thing, not fake aspirin Tylenol) with a tall glass of Gatorade before retiring for the evening.
6.5%?
Wimp.
Give me a Malheur Dark Brut 12%!
When I lived in Seattle, we used to go to Canada and get Tylenol 3 w/codeine, as it was available over the counter. Take two of those, chug 4 full glasses of Gatorade, boom no hangover. Young and invincible, those were the days.
Rolling eyes! They’re called “Session Beers” and they’ve been around for a couple hundred years. You can have a low alcohol beer that still has lots of body and flavor. (Of course, body and flavor are anachronistic to a company like Budweiser) I’m a brewer and brew several great sessions beers. It’s a whole lot easier to play darts for hours on end when you drink them!
Some guys from my small hometown in the south opened a small brewery recently. They currently brew about 4 recipes.
One recipe was found in a family attic and was written in German. They had the recipe translated from German, tested it, and it is now on the market as draft in local restaurants. It is an exceptional tasting beer, one of the best I have ever had. And it puts any Budweiser product I have ever tasted to shame.
Isn’t aspirin supposed to be bad if you have a belly full of beer?
I'd rather drink iced bottle water if I want to cool off.
On the other hand, the craft beers are much more filling. So even though they are more around 6%, I can only drink about 3 or 4 of them before I am full. I also end up nursing them for an hour or more which keeps me well out of DUI territory. Craft beer tastes good even when it’s warm as opposed to Budweiser, which must be drunk ice cold to be palatable.
