Stock your six-pack using these drinks for a side of health benefits with your buzz.
While many wouldn't equate beer using a healthy diet , it is often said that a few brews per serving/outing is not the worst thing for you—as long as they're light beers, and hence, reduced calories and carbs.
The problem, obviously, is the fact that most light” beers usually are light” in flavor and so your enjoyment. Which begs the question: What's the point of drinking two beers should they taste like watered-down crap, So here are some beers—sans the sunshine label”—that can be surprisingly low in cals and carbs , or give a nutritional/health kick that few be familiar with.
And as always, fellas, enjoy responsibly. Even a "healthy" beer has calories.
1. Guinness
It's becoming less of a secret at this stage, but Guinness draught, everyone's St. Pattys Day pint associated with preference, is not as filling as its thick, dark body indicate. A serving from the stout beer boasts 126 calories, which is 19 only a Budweiser and 24 less than a Heineken. Guinness also contains a shade under 10 carbs, which is less than, say, Sam Adams Boston Lager (18 carbs per serving). This is all partly due to Guinness' low alcohol content (4.0), but don't use any one of this just as one excuse to tack on a couple of car bombs this St. Pattys.
2. Rolling Rock
While this one is a little more obvious, Rolling Rock is the non-light domestic associated with preference for health-conscious drinkers. At only 120 calories, the Missouri-brewed lager fails easy like a light, while providing a refreshingly crisp taste which is lost generally in most sub-100 calorie beers. Just make sure to prevent Rock Green light, Rolling Rock's 84-calorie offspring that sacrifices a lot of in taste.
3. Abita Purple Haze
If someone happens to find yourself journeying right down to N'awlins for Mardi Gras this season, you will most probably be drinking a lot of Abita, NOLA's premier craft brewery. Abita supplies a variety of flavorful brews, few as notable as Purple Haze, a raspberry-infused wheat beer. Purple Haze is brewed with fresh raspberry puree (providing nutrients and vitamins), added after filtration for the distinctive taste and aroma. What's best, a serving of Purple Haze just has 128 calories and 11 carbs, pretty respectable stats for something so deliciously tasting. Hendrix can be proud.
4. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
If you still have a taste for hops, pale ales (usually called India Pale Ales or IPAs) pack a hops punch that's usually 50 times stronger than your average beer. While more hops means more alcohol content, calories and carbs, in addition, it means a better content of polyphenols, an antioxidant that lowers cholesterol and fights cancer. Sierra Nevada is one with the most widely available pale ale brands in the marketplace; just be certain to grab the common edition, containing a reasonable 175 calories, when compared with Sierra Nevada IPA (231 calories) or worse, Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (an impressive 330 calories).
5. Peak Organic Winter Session Ale
For those who thrive on things organic , you will find there's wide array of breweries across this great nation using ingredients from certified organic farms. That means the barley, wheat and hops are typical fertilizer-, pesticide- and herbicide-free. While there are numerous local selections for organic beer (according to your region), Peak Organic is really a Maine-based brewery with selections usually present in Whole Foods and other high-end beer distributors. The brand's Winter Session Ale makes for a warm and toasty seasonal, with a modest (at best) 150 calories per serving.
