when did anheuser busch discontinue bud light next
Bud Light Next was introduced in 2022, but I couldn’t verify an exact company announcement date for when Anheuser-Busch fully discontinued it from the sources I found. Available reporting only shows it was still being discussed in 2022 and later appeared in a 2025 post about local discontinuation, which suggests the rollout ended sometime after launch but before or around then.
What I could confirm
- Bud Light Next launched in 2022 as a zero-carb beer.
- A 2025 post mentions it being “discontinued in area,” which points to at least some market-level removals by then.
- I did not find a clear, official nationwide discontinuation date in the available results.
Practical read
If you’re asking about the company-wide end of Bud Light Next, the safest answer is: there’s no clearly documented public shutdown date in the sources I could verify, but it appears to have been phased out after its 2022 launch and was effectively gone from at least some markets by 2025.
