A&W Introduces Labatt's Budweiser Zero at its Restaurants
A&W Canada has teamed up with Labatt Breweries of Canada to launch a pilot program introducing a non-alcoholic beer in its Ontario restaurants. The collaboration will feature Labatt's Budweiser Zero, bringing the iconic beverage to A&W customers. Budweiser Zero will be available at select A&W locations across Ontario during this pilot initiative.
By introducing Budweiser Zero, A&W, and Labatt are diversifying their product offerings and catering to the growing consumer demand for non-alcoholic alternatives. Throughout the limited-time pilot, A&W and Labatt Breweries of Canada will monitor customer response and engagement, potentially paving the way for broader adoption of non-alcoholic beverages in quick-service restaurant settings.
"I'm excited to have A&W be part of the response to the growing interest in non-alcoholic beers," says Amanda Wang, director of marketing at A&W. "You could say we've been pioneers since 1919 with our A&W Root Beer. Introducing Budweiser Zero is an expansion of meeting our guests' needs with varied options for refreshing beverages that perfectly complement our best-tasting burgers."
