Beer of Whiskey?

Usually a hard liquor is less calories. I'm a tequila and light beer drinker. Light beers range from 80-110cals/bottle (regular are closer to 150-170 and darks are even more) One ounce of tequila is between 60-75cals.... and then whether your drinking straight (my preference) or mixing, that can impact if you use anything that isn't 0cals like diet pops.

If I had to choose whiskey all day. But I'm not thinking of the calories lol. I homebrew beer I guess I better figure out how to find the calories...but I am a whiskey lover. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to whiskey.

I came here to say the same. I love beer and whiskey, and I refuse to choose one over the other. A little whiskey, a little beer. Actually, I'd start with a whiskey, then proceed to a beer flight: lager, IPA, porter, stout

I don't like beer so I am going whiskey.

My 3oz of Bulleit rye comes in just under 220 cals. Any more than that and I feel it in my head the next day, but most nights I actually have a beer (I like IPAs, 250ish cals for 12oz) while I'm prepping dinner and the bourbon as a nightcap.

No wine-ing.

Whiskey for me, bourbon with soda water and lime is delightful, like a whiskey-ade. I don't like beer, personally, despite the influx of very trendy, delightful little craft breweries around here.

Whiskey hands down.

Bourbon-barrel-aged stout! Win-win.

Why have I not heard of this before and why is it not in my life already?!?

Bourbon County stout from Goose Island is the most well known. My go-to is from Central Waters in Amherst, Wisconsin. I know Founders, Lexington, Stone, and Anderson Valley all make versions, and I know many more brewers do as well.

Whiskey is good for the soul.

Whisky! Consumed neat. Nice thing is you appreciate its flavor and that also helps reduce eating while enjoying a drink. It's also one of the lowest calorie alcohol choices out there consumed neat (or with a few drops of water or ice)

When I have beer I almost always start looking for salty snacks right away.

I still like mine on the rocks. But I'm firmly n the "both" camp. Just that it has to be better than what I used to consume as I'm not drinking as much so I damn well better enjoy what I do drink. Guinness or a good Porter for beer and something expensive on the Scotch side. Worst is Crown Royal and Coke zero.

Also Gin. Found a nice, tasty local gin a few years back that is really good.
