RIP to Mr Belser.

I hope that we can add nutrition labels to alcoholic beverages in the near future.




Same here. Beer has more calories than Coke.


to underline your point.

Looks like regular Coke has 140 calories / 12oz serving.

A random sampling of my homebrew recipes (brewersfriend.com); 136 - British Golden, 163 - table saison, 215 - West Coast IPA, 307 - Imperial Stout.


But, to be fair, beer seems more filling than Coke.

My mom has told me how, when she was in college, sometimes she'd just drink a beer instead of having a meal, because it's filling enough and has enough calories to substitute a meal.


And ingredients!


Reinheitsgebot now!


> The Reinheitsgebot, literally "purity order", is a series of regulations limiting the ingredients in beer in Germany and the states of the former Holy Roman Empire. The best known version of the law was adopted in Bavaria in 1516 (by William IV), but similar regulations predate the Bavarian order, and modern regulations also significantly differ from the 1516 Bavarian version.[0]
