CALORIES
Q & A

How Many Calories are there in a 12 ounce bottle of beer?

Beverage
Regular beer (5% alcohol by volume) Light beer (4% alcohol by volume)Non-alcoholic beer (<0.5% alcohol by
volume)

Quantity
1 bottle (341 mL, 12 oz.)
1 bottle (341 mL, 12 oz.)
1 can (350 g)

Calories
147
99
129

While 100-150 calories per 12 ounce beer may sound moderate, remember to factor in how much you consume compared to the serving sizes listed. A larger 500 mL can or pint (16 ounces) of beer will have more calories, as would a beer with a higher percentage of alcohol by volume.
