With Summer just bending around the corner (on Van island anyway, sorry for everyone else still dealing with snow ;( ) my fiance and I decided to bbq. I did pretty good with the food (portion controlled it) however I grabbed a beer and typed it in and was DEVASTATED with the amount of calories (I always knew beer and alcoholic had high calorie content, just such a surprise to see the actual number.)

Then my boyfriend mentioned the low cal beer and all I could remember was how gross tasting it was, so does anyone have any suggestions for a tasty low cal beverage? Because there it's seriously nothing better than to kick back with a beer in the sun ;(

    I'm a bit of a beer snob. When I drink a beer, I want it to taste really, really, good. As such, very rarely touch light beers. That being said, the one light beer I kind of like is Sam Adams Light. 119 calories. Not my first choice for beer, but it tastes pretty good.

    Molson 67 Sublime beer is my favorite. 67 calories a bottle and a nice crisp citrus taste.

    Drink normal beer. Just don't have mayo and cheese with your burger. Or wrap the burger in lettuce rather than a nasty bun.

    NO!!

    Just make good craft beer work into your macros. Run around if you have to even, or just drink a yummy beer and deal with it.

    I don't think most low calorie beers taste much worse than light beers in general. They all taste like watery beer. I sometimes prefer them if it's very hot because fuller bodied beers are just too heavy in the heat for my taste. This is the same reason I prefer a light crisp white or sangria over most red wines when it's hot.

    It might be easier to give specific suggestions knowing what beers you think taste good.

    You can catch a buzz off low calorie beer, it just takes longer. This is exactly why I drink Bud Select 55 when throw darts. If I drink the better stuff I get too drunk and by the end of the match I'm hitting the wall (or rather my darts are).

    I usually just drink Guinness or Boddington's Pub Ale. That said I will have a MGD 64, miller lite, michelobe ultra or something if I just kinda want the taste but don't have the calories

    Guinness is pretty low cal, true story. I didn't believe it when I first heard it. Plus it has the added bonus for me that it fills me up too much to drink more than about 2 max.
