Drinks that are low in calories, carbs, and alcohol are having a moment right now. Whether or not you’re on the keto diet, we’re all for a great-tasting beverage that’s better for you. But while straight liquors like vodka, tequila, and whiskey are all carb-free, they just don't cut when you're craving an ice-cold brewski.
Fortunately, it's the year 2024, and solid beer options abound for the low-carb set. No matter if you're looking for a pilsner perfect for knocking back during a backyard grill sesh or a hoppy IPA to nurse during a night out on the town, there are plenty of flavor-forward suds that won't completely derail your keto diet.
Why Should I Drink Low-Carb Beer?
A standard beer clocks in at 14 carbs a bottle or more, and while that may not seem like a ton, keep in mind that keto diets generally restrict carbs to 20 to 57 grams a day. And then what if you want another round? Before you know it, the carbs start adding up. Low-carb options, however, offer a delicious alternative.
How Can A Beer Be Low In Carbs?
There are several ways to make light beers, which are often low-calorie and low-carb. One common method involves introducing certain enzymes into the mash or fermenting beer until most of its carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars before diluting the mixture with water. This cuts down both the total ABV and calories.
While it might sound like this process would result in a watery beer, this isn’t necessarily the case—especially in recent years, as producers cater more to consumers interested in cutting carbs without sacrificing flavor. Read on for the best low-carb beers of the bunch—all 11 carbs or fewer.
