This seems to be gradually changing in the EU. Although it's not required, according to [1] 95% of canned or bottled beer sold in the EU now includes the ingredients, 88% the energy, though I can't see a figure for full nutrition labelling. I see ingredient and energy labels on all the Danish-brewed beers I have, but only the ingredients on a couple of others. A non-alcoholic beer, of course, has the full nutrition information as it isn't exempt. https://beerwisdom.eu/ https://beerwisdom.eu/

It feels like this lack of proper labeling on alcoholic beverages has also contributed to the explosion of popularity of alcoholic seltzers like white claw in the States as well. The cans are exactly 100 calories (easy to count), say specifically how much carbs they have for keto and have the full nutrition facts label. Some of the beers in the States have started putting calorie counts on their beer cans when they are specifically marketing to health conscious consumers (Michelob Ultra is an example) but it remains the exception rather than the norm. And why should it be up to the companies? It’s something you’re consuming, why not require nutrition facts like any other food or drink?
