Michelob Ultra becomes America’s new top

(CNN) - The United States has a new top-selling beer.

Michelob Ultra has overtaken the previous leader, Modelo Especial, in retail sales by volume, according to reports from Circana.

Officials at Anheuser-Busch said this boost was largely helped by the launch of their non-alcoholic Michelob Ultra Zero.

Modelo’s parent company said the Trump administration’s immigration policies have also affected its sales among Latino consumers.

Overall, the beer industry is struggling.

Retail sales for the first half of this year were just under 35 billion. That is a year-over-year drop of roughly 5%.
