The beverage’s $83.6 million in sales in 2022 matched those of Budweiser Zero and Busch NA combined. To promote the non-alcoholic beer brand, Heineken USA pledged to distribute 10 million samples and spend $50 million. 7% of the Heineken brand’s sales come from the beer. Heineken USA is optimistic about the future of the non-alcoholic beer business in the US, particularly among younger consumers.

Four years after launching Heineken 0.0, Heineken is taking cautious steps to expand its non-alcoholic line by introducing Dos Equis Lime & Salt Zero.
