It goes almost unspoken that the reason we’re seeing more low calorie beers than ever before is that beer (depending how much you drink) can make you fat.
And ‘Big Beer’ companies and craft brewers alike are addressing a growing demand for decent beer that won’t pack on the pounds.
Healthline recently compiled a somewhat random (No Michelob Ultra?) listing of 50 low calorie beers that they consider “the best,” ranking them by type, style and calorie count…
And while you might have some problems with some of the beers that healthline ranked as ‘the best’ (we did) it’s still kinda interesting…
