Lowest Carb Beer Drinks

859 beer drinks tracked, averaging 13.6g carbs and 173 calories per serving. Carbs in beer come almost entirely from unfermented residual sugar, so the spread is wide: light lagers brewed to a lower original gravity land near zero, while imperial stouts and heavier ales can carry several times the category average. Sorted by carbs per 12 oz serving (lowest first), then score.

This page is sorted to surface the leanest beer choices first. Start with the top ten, then compare calories and ABV.

The current ranked list averages 159 calories per 12 oz serving, so carb wins do not always mean the lightest overall pour.

Keep a practical threshold

If you want a fast rule, use the current floor of 12.0g carbs per 12 oz serving as a benchmark and stay near it.
