The beer is four per cent alcohol by volume but packs just 80 calories – less than half that of a regular pint.
The brewer spent a decade 130 prototypes perfecting the beer.
Jackie Sargerson, 62, landlady of The Sun in Leighton Buzzard said she would love to stock it and regular Mark Hiles, 31, a metal worker added: “I don’t care about the calories, but my wife counts them. So let’s get it over here and taste it.”
Electrician Douglas Laine, 36, in Nottingham said: "A zero carb beer sounds like a great idea.
"I like the fact it is low calorie but isn't alcohol-free, which is usually the case with most 'healthy' beers, and you always lose a bit of flavour.
"It would be fantastic if Budweiser could launch it in the UK as well.
