For beer lovers, craft breweries have made it possible to enjoy light and tasty drinks without compromising on taste. These light beers are usually around 100 calories and 3 to 6 carbs per 12 oz. serving, and come in a variety of styles, from pilsners to IPAs. However, it's important to remember that carbohydrates make up between 12 and 24 of those 100 calories, while the remaining 76 to 88 calories come from alcohol.
