Bud Light’s First-Ever Zero Carb Beer Launches

Bud Light is turning the beer industry on its head once again with the launch of its newest, industry-leading innovation, Bud Light NEXT – its first-ever zero carb beer.

Zink Distributing Company, headquartered in Indianapolis and Indiana’s largest Anheuser-Busch distributor, will begin delivering this barrier-breaking product to Central and Southwest Indiana retailers on Monday, February 7, 2022.

Nearly ten years in the making, Bud Light NEXT is the result of a brewing breakthrough making the impossible possible. In addition to offering zero carbs, the new super crisp light beer boasts 80 calories, 4% ALC/VOL and offers a clean and refreshing taste. Bud Light NEXT is a new type of beer brewed for today’s 21+ consumers who have long desired a beer that breaks the barriers of a traditional lager and offers the sessionability and stats of a seltzer.

“Zink Distributing has a long history of bringing Anheuser-Busch’s best-selling products to Hoosier consumers as Indiana’s largest Anheuser-Busch distributor,” said Jim Zink, Jr., president of Zink Distributing. “With Bud Light NEXT, we’re part of a team strengthening our commitment to meeting the desires of the evolving taste preferences of consumers.”

Bud Light NEXT will be available nationwide wherever Bud Light is sold beginning Monday, February 7, 2022.

Zink added, “Super Bowl Weekend is the perfect time to pick up Bud Light NEXT and give zero-carbs a try.”
