    55 by budweiser it has 55 calories wow hardly no calories has anyone tried it ? if so let me know?:drinker: :tongue:

    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.

    that's how they reduce the calories...they water it down like crazy. There is a "light" vodka out there that does the same thing. If I wanted a watered down drink, I'd just go to Applebee's LOL

    My new fav is Yuengling Lager - only 128 calories. Now if I could only find a way to get it in Chicago - not distributed east of Pennsylvania right now, strictly east coast beer. If you have it nearby, you have to try it.

    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.

    Same here. It's 127 calories.

    I love hoppy beers like mad and prefer them IPA. Dogfish head makes a great 90 and 120 IPA.

    If I am trying to keep a cap on calories its either bud light lime or coors light.

    Deschutes has a tasty inversion IPA. Granted Deschutes has a lot of tasty beers.:drinker:

    Yeungling is only 120 calories for 12 oz. And it's delicious! Not sure how popular or readily available it is outside the east coast, but I'm in Virginia and it's pretty easy to find. It's got a great taste and it's not too light or watered down.

    And Dogfish Head is some of my absolute favorite beers! Midas Touch is my boyfriend's favorite, and i love Aprihop and Raison D'Etre the best.

    Oooh - can you send some my way - j/k - enjoy. We drank it everywhere I could find it in Disney recently and we had our last one for a while at the airport before flying back to Chicago

    It's better to drink one delicious beer than to polish off a case of Natty Light, so I say go with something that packs enough of whatever you need in one bottle to satisfy your cravings.

    Guinness is okay, but I don't know what I'd do for a Beamish right about now. I wish it was still sold in the States.

    Yeah, living this close to the Tampa brewery has its benefits. It's pretty popular over here, and it's usually fresh at the store. It's probably the hoppiest and tastiest beer you can get for somewhere between the price of a Busch and a Budweiser.
