There’s a battle brewing in the beer industry and it’s not over which beer is less filling or which one tastes great, but rather which drink can offer the best beer taste with the lowest amount of calories.
Your typical American beer has around 150 calories and 5% alcohol and you can see those numbers double in many imported beers. Your average light beers will have around 100 calories and usually between 3-4% alcohol content.
However, the latest beers to be testing the markets have almost half the amount of calories and alcohol content of your light beers. Miller Genuine Draft 64 and Budweiser Select 55 are two of the front runners in this low calorie beer battle. As the names suggest, they have 64 and 55 calories respectively and both contain less than 3% alcohol.
The lower calorie and alcohol content come at a price though – Taste. In order to cut out the calories the brewers must lower the amount of barley and grains that go into the manufacturing of the beer. The result? Less calories, less alcohol and less beer taste.
Many argue that they would just drink more low calorie beers to feel the same effects of a regular beer so the end result would be the same caloric consumption. But those in favor think it’s a great alternative for the casual beer drinker who doesn’t want the added calories.
