Corona Canada has announced the launch of its first non-alcoholic beer, the Corona Sunbrew 0.0%. Standing out amidst the increasingly crowded alcohol-free market, the new buzz-free beverage has also been infused with vitamin D, allowing consumers to reap the benefits of "Sunshine, Anytime" during the winter months.
The product is geared specifically towards Canadians, which makes sense considering the country faces limited sunlight throughout eight months of their year. Moreover, the product sees Corona enter the burgeoning non-alcoholic market, which, according to the company, witnessed substantial growth between 2020 and 2021. In addition, the beverage presents Canadian consumers with a new low-cal beer option as each bottle of Sunbrew contains just 60 calories.
"Knowing that Corona Sunbrew 0.0% is the only non-alcoholic beer that contains vitamin D in the world provides a unique opportunity in the market," said Mike Bascom, Senior Marketing Director, Corona Canada.
