How many calories are in your favourite beer?

Discover the lightest drop - by Lottie Dalziel
  • 24 Sep 2019
How many calories are in your favourite beer?

Q: How many calories in the average bottle of beer?

A:  There 131 calories in the average bottle of beer. The number of calories and carbohydrates in beer depends on numerous factors but a general rule to follow is the darker the beer the more calorie-dense. Dark ales and heavy beers are heavy on taste and on Light beer is not only light on the alcohol but on the calories too. With around 50 calories less per drink it adds up when you have a few. 

What is low calorie beer?

Beer doesn’t get a good wrap when it comes to health and wellbeing with the term beer belly being thrown around. But a study actually revealed that beer drinkers had a lower blood pressure than those who drank spirits. Beers contain several B vitamins as well as calcium, magnesium and selenium. Generally speaking the darker the beer the more calorie-dense it is, so steer clear of dark ales.

Is low calorie beer low in carbs? 

There isn’t a strong correlation between low-calorie beers and low carbohydrate beers. Some low carb beers actually have more calories than low-calorie beers as more sugar and grains are used in the brewing process.
