The 15 Best And 15 Worst Beers For Your Health

1.

Worst Beers: Stella Artois - Bringing up the rear of the "Worst Beers" list is Stella Artois. This is a quality beer. If your mantra is quality over quantity then have just one of these it's got 154 calories per glass!

2.

Worst Beers: Magic Hat 9 - Bringing up the rear of the "Worst Beers" list is Magic Hat 9. Tipping in at 153 calories, Magic Hat tastes like apricots but is probably not quite as healthy for you as the fruit. One or two surely can't hurt though.

3.

Worst Beers: Bass Ale - Bass Ale is also borderline: drink two and you're consuming more calories than a jelly donut. The calorie count stands at 156 for this one.

4.

Worst Beers: Pilsner Urquell - This Czech beer is good for sipping, not guzzling. At 156 calories, the count is simply still too high to regularly reach for more than one

5.

Worst Beers: Samuel Adams Boston Lager - If you love Samuel Adams but are worried about your waistline, youre better off drinking this brands light variety. At 160 calories, you could save yourself some treadmill time.

6.

Worst Beers: George Killian's Irish Red - Thinking of chugging a sixer of this Irish brewed amber lager? Each serving holds 162 calories so maybe just have one and share the rest with friends.

7.

Worst Beers: Blue Moon Belgian White - The calorie-count isnt the worst, but you could do better, if losing your beer belly is an issue. This bitter Belgian beer goes well with a wedge of lime and a dash of moderation.

8.

Worst Beers: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - If this beer flows down your throat like water, save it for a special occasion when its okay to indulge. If you do drink more than you should, at least make sure youre working those extra calories 175 in total per serving off with some regular exercise.

9.

Worst Beers: Guinness Extra Stout - Guinness Extra Stout is quite high on the calorie scale, so why not opt for the black stuff on tap instead? Its 176 calories is a full 50 calories higher than the draught version of the greatest stuff on earth.

10.

Worst Beers: Michelob Honey Lager - The honey sweetens the beer but sours the carb count. At 178 calories, it might be wise to see what else is on tap to soften the calorie count.

11.

Worst Beers: Redhook ESB - At 179 calories a pop, if youre hooked on Redhook extra strong bitter, try to stick with just one. If the calorie count is a factor then you could do much better than downing a couple of these guys.

12.

Worst Beers: Budweiser American Ale - Forget about patriotism. If youre looking to fight fat, pass on this 182 calorie American ale for one of Bud's lighter options.

13.

15.

Worst Beers: Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale - If youre thinking about losing some weight, you should avoid this brew at any cost. The worst beer on the list at 330 calories, this particular beer is loaded with two to three times more calories than a glass of wine but with a 9.6 alcohol content, who's going to be able to count those calories?
