Strongest Beer Drinks

863 beer drinks tracked, averaging 13.7g carbs and 174 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 ABV (highest first), then score.

How To Use This Ranking

Use ABV as the first filter

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

Check serving size before you order

The current shortlist reaches a ceiling of 3.9% ABV, so confirm the pour size before treating a high-proof pick like a standard serving.

Cross-reference carbs separately

Strength and carbs move independently, so a high-ABV pick is not automatically low-carb. This shortlist still averages 11.0g carbs per 12 oz serving.
