50 Most Fattening Beers seems like a waste of an article. Pretty much any regular beer is going to be chockful of carbs and calories. They probably just randomly selected 50 regular (non-light) beers to put on their list. Just drink responsibly. ;)
This is the most worthless article I've seen in a while. It could be renamed "a list of 50 beers"
Any of the other stories would have made a better headliner.
For frame of reference a can of coke has 140 calories. Yuengling (which made the list) has 142 according to the article. This article is bad and the publishers should feel bad.
@allenallen you're completely correct on that one. I was hoping the article would highlight beers like Dogfish Head Midas Touch, which is well over 300 calories of delicious nectar.
The beer list was pretty lame. How many did they test? They should have gone in some kind of ascending order, but it was all over the place. However, I was happy to note that Guinness didn't have nearly the kind of calories I thought it did. I'm going to buy some next time I'm in the market!! Granted, they don't sell them in 12oz servings here. I think it's the pint-sized cans.
Brewery: Guinness
Calories (12 oz): 125
Carbohydrates: 10
Alcohol by volume: 4%
I was surprised to see that Blue Moon and Fat Tire had more calories. Not that I'm going to stop drinking those.
That article was completely worthless and misleading.
AND to add insult to injury they misspelled Guinness. Morons.
