Hey Calorie Counters, best low-calorie beer?

[EricPeterson]

What is everyone's favorite low calorie beer, of the ones I have tired the 90 calorie (!) Becks light is my favorite:

Post you favorite, and include the Calorie Content (if you know it).

I think Amstel light tastes pretty good for a light beer. FWIW, ISTR that Miller Lite's carb count is on a par with a lot of the supposedly "low carb" beers that were around when the Atkins diet was at its peak a few years back.

Nice Amstel light is good too, only 95 calories.

I could never understand drinking beer if you're counting carbs. Low carb beer seldom tastes very good and I would be afraid of what type of grain is being used to make it low carb.

Drink vodka and soda with a lime - ZERO carbs and has to be better for you than low carb beer.

Just drink a few less of the real thing. Low cal beer sucks.

:rotflmao Okay fair enough.


Thanks, and I tend to agree. Just interested if there is something out there I am missing. My wife and I often like to split a 6pack and she tends to want to drink a lower calorie beer. So she will suggest something like Miller 64, and I will say How about Fat Tire or Sierra Nevada (assuming she will see that these are light compared to a Outmeal Stout) and there is an impasse. I am just trying to find some lower calorie options I can throw out that still taste alright.

I agree. 2 good beers, rather than 5 crappy ones. But if you must, Amstel or Becks. Honestly, those low cal's are really not that much different in alot of cases:

Cool Chart thanks!

A Sierra Nevada Pale is 175, that is nearly double the becks light, just sayin' It is amazing how much the calories can add up if you sit around on a sunday watching football and have 3 beers, if I have 3 Sierra Nevada Pales that is 525 calories or a 1/4 of what I should eat in a day.

Interesting chart though.

EDIT: OP was talking calories, not carbs.

My wife drinks Yuengling Light. 99 calories per and they taste OK to me. Better than a bud light or coors or whatever...

[FlyingDutchman]

Is there a Bud 55 now? I can tolerate Michelob Ultra..Its not that bad of a beer for 96 calories..

[TheGuildedAge]

guinness is as low as some light beers

[DaveF]

chimay

... it's low calorie if you just keep your glass small enough.

Ah, good point, I forgot that. :D
