"A 12 oz beer contains about 300 kcalories."
That's an exaggeration. Here are a few mainstream beers I looked up on that site-
Sam Adams Boston Lager: 175,
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: 175,
PBR: 144,
Guinness Draught: 128
- Samuel_Michon 14y agoYou’re right, thanks. Fixed. It does mean that if you drink 5 pints during a night on the town, you ingest 1100 kcalories. For me, that would mean half of my recommended daily caloric intake.
- eru 13y agoThere's a saying in German that five beers (pints) are a meal. But you have to have a sixth beer, because you can't have a meal without a beer.
- hluska 13y agoI lived with a German guy while he was working on his PhD - this statement brought back many wonderful memories!! Thanks for that - I'm going to have to call him and see if he wants to go out for dinner!!! :)
- pmh 13y agoIf you're a regular craft beer drinker, the rule of thumb I use for a 12oz is 30 calories per % abv (or 40 calories for a pint).
