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.
