League tastes like a citrusy, hoppy craft-brewed IPA with hints of tropical fruit-you would never guess when you drink it that it has around half the calories and alcohol of a typical IPA. (American pale ales tend to be less bitter and less alcoholic than IPAs, though the lines between these categories can be blurry.) It’s interesting, yet very easy to drink-clean and bright with almost no bitterness. Southern Tier Brewing Company Swipe Light features Citra and Mosaic hops, which imbue this American pale ale with a citrusy aromatic complexity and flavor that set it apart from other light beers. Here are 10 of the best craft beers with calorie counts of 140 or less per 12-ounce serving… Ales and IPAs Three of the four spots for top-selling beers in the US are held by Bud Light (110 calories), Coors Light (102 calories) and Miller Lite (96 calories). Examples: Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA has 450 calories.* Samuel Adams Imperial White has 328 calories.Ĭraft brewers-which saw their market share more than double since 2010, topping a 13% share of the US beer market by volume in 2018-are looking to up the competition with low-calorie beers. Some craft beers contain far more calories. A 12-ounce craft beer with 8% alcohol by volume (ABV) might have close to 250 calories, compared with around 150 for a mainstream beer with 5% ABV. Overall, craft beers tend to have more calories than mainstream beers, in part because they often have more alcohol. Now brewers are rolling out new craft beers that attempt-with varying degrees of success-to cut the calories without sacrificing the unique character and flavors of craft beers. The craft beer revolution has added variety to beer store shelves and inches to beer drinkers’ waistlines.
