Let’s face it, a beer can come with more calories than other alcoholic enjoyments. Sometimes a lot more. You can ignore that most brewers get stocky sooner or later, but it is what it is.

A beer’s calories generally correlate with its alcohol count, or ABV as it is referred to in the biz, mot a big surprise since alcohol is the end result of fermented sugars in the brewing process.

But just how many calories are in that beer that you’re drinking is not always clear.

“Finding a beer’s calorie content is not always easy. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) doesn’t require beer brands to list nutritional information on their product labels, So to save beer lovers the trouble, our friends at VinePair, “cataloged the calorie contents of 50 different popular beers available in the US,” and we thank them for that.

This ranking of 12oz-sized beers is a mix of mass-market brands, as well as some imports and popular craft beer names.
