    This is a brilliant resource for craft beer lovers. It allows you to quickly estimate the calories based on ABV:

    Speaking of which, I've got a brewery tasting event scheduled for this weekend, a beer and chocolate workshop next week, and of course a bunch of festivals this spring and summer.

    Mmmm, craft beer...

    Boo, the chart doesn't go up to 18%. It would have failed me last week. I use ratebeer or pick a similar beer with a higher calorie listing. I like erring on the side of caution.

    It's a formula though - you can calculate it based on the pattern in the chart.

    This is what I get for trying to read the thread on my phone while out for a walk... :cheers:

    The really simple estimation method:
    Calories per ounce = ABV x 2.5

    You're welcome. :)

    I love craft beers but stick to Amstel Light -- only 95 cals and still tasty :)

    At the risk of sounding sexist I'm loving all the fellow females who have chipped in with beer suggestions. Although I don't indulge as often as I used to I still love a good porter or IPA and exercise (walk the pub) to earn the Cals in order to enjoy it.
