The Labatt Blue Light Non-Alcohol Strawberry Acai is a new addition to the brand's product portfolio that targets the changing needs of today's drinker. The beer boasts a fruit-forward flavor with notes of the namesake strawberry and açaí in the mix, and has a non-alcoholic profile that has a 0.5% ABV. Featuring 75-calories per serving, the beer responds to demands for lighter ways to enjoy traditional libations.
The Labatt Blue Light Non-Alcohol Strawberry Acai is available now for purchase in Michigan and New York in six-packs of 12-ounce cans. The beer is set to roll out to Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vermont later into 2023. The beer seems to strike a balance between being great for beer drinkers, but also for those who favor low-calorie seltzers.
