Story summary
  • Michelob Ultra Zero becomes the top-selling non-alcoholic beer, just a year after its launch.
  • The shift shows Americans increasingly alternate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, a pattern described as "zebra striping."
  • Experts attribute the change to health considerations, including GLP-1 weight-loss medications and advances in de-alcoholization technology that improve taste.
  • Industry insiders say the trend expands the definition of beer rather than replacing traditional options.
