Use carbs as the first filter

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 227 calories per 12 oz serving, so carb wins do not always mean the lightest overall pour.

Keep a practical threshold
