Low Carb beer by beer breakdown


I have found an excellent little table of the carb content of some commonly available beers, in order lowest carb first:


Carbs per Beer by UK pint(568ml) :
Marstons Low C 3.41 
Bindings Diat Pils 3.98 
Miller Lite 4.26 
Michelob Ultra 4.43 
Tesco's Value Lager is 5.1g carb for a 440 ml can.
Coors Light 7.55 
Corona Light 8.63 
Amstel Light 8.63 
Holsten Pils 11.19 
Becks 11.36 
Carlsberg 15.34 
Stella Artois 16.76 
Budweiser 17.32 
Foster's Lager 17.61 
Guiness 18.18 
Foster's Ice 18.18 
Michelob 20.11 
Grolsh 21.58 
Desperados 31.8 (massive fail as I love this beer)
Smirnoff Ice 44.30 
WKD 60.61


Now this should be some useful carb information for all those beer drinkers who want to know the nutritional stats.  If anyone wants to submit their own stats in the comments section post them up and I will add them to the list.


Up next week I will give a bit more background information on the science behind carbs in beers, be they low carb or not!!!
