This famous brand of alcoholic drink has a lower calorie content than most of its other counterparts. It has 126 calories which is lower than the calorie content of Budweiser, by as much as 19 and lower than Heineken by as much as 24.
It also contains under 10 grams of carbohydrates, reducing your chances of weight gain, and which is lower than Sam Adams Boston Lager, which contains 18 grams of carbohydrates.All this is because of the very low alcohol content that it has 4.0.

Most beers that claim to be healthy are usually ‘light’ beers that are basically diluted version of heavy beers. This causes most of the fun to be removed from the beer, and no one wants to drink a weak beer.

4. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
This drink is made with hops, foods that are packed with a bunch of minerals and nutrients that boost your health. They also contain poly-phenol antioxidant, that helps to reduce inflammations and cancer and also reduce cholesterol and stimulates the body to burn more fat and this is especially important as hops increase the alcoholic content of the drink, and hence the calories.
