Fast Facts:
The majority of calories in your beer come from carbs. Considering that alcohol is a carbohydrate, higher ABV beers tend to have more calories.
The federal Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) requires a calorie listing for any beer that calls itself "light" or "lite." Otherwise, providing the information is optional.
Many drinkers consume beer in 16-ounce pints rather than 12-ounce bottles. A 12-ounce craft beer that has 180 calories in the bottle leaps to 243 calories in a pint glass.
It would take the average person approximately 29 minutes of walking or 12 minutes of running to burn off the calories in one average craft beer (156 calories).
