    Healthiest? Well, it's true Guinness is the lowest calorie (non light) beer, if that is what you mean :wink:

    Leinenkugel summer shandy comes in at 130! Totally worth it in my opinion. :) All of my other non-light fav's are 170-200!

    As a brewer I can tell you stick with dark beers for heatlh benefits! The health benefits of a dark beer are similar to a red wine. That being said, you can drink a Guiness Stout as it is a nice dark beer with very low calories (less than Butttweiser).

    Brewer....you are my idol! what a job. that's awesome.

    I enjoy my guiness Stout for sure...but also enjoy the buds (but only the ones brewed in Canada, I find american Bud doesn't taste good).

    Wish it was my job! It's my hobby of 10 years though! I have helped some friends who are professional brewers out a lot though.

    I drink RedBridge because it's gluten free. I forget how many calories are in a bottle, if I remember correctly, it's something like 120.

    My vote is for Chimay Grande Reserve. Probably 200-400 calories per 12 oz serving, but it's good for the soul. Low calories doesn't mean healthy right?

    Let's GO! 1 condition: we cannot go to the Elephant Bar. They won't let you drop the bomb, they give you the Jamo/Baileys in a rocks glass, and they expect you to pour it into the Guinness...WTF!? That is NOT a car bomb!!! Their LAME excuse? Some guy broke his tooth and sued us when the shot glass hit him in the mouth...so you can't have a proper car bomb. :huh: Buh-bye Elephant Bar!

    I always thought it was "Butt-WIPER" Have I been wrong all these years??

    Very interesting topic by the way.

    I like all beers. The darker and more flavorful, the better! Beer is very good for you, just like wine! :heart:

    I tried it thinking it was such a deal but when I got it home, I realized it had half the alcohol content of a regular (even light beer) so I drank twice as much and could have had a much better tasting wheat beer.

    Bud select 55 tastes like water, but the 99 calorie isn't too bad.

    "Guinness. It's good for you!" Haha it is a happy accident, but it also has protein! So good for you. And delicious!
