We have been drinking the Michelobe Ultra with only 2.6 gr. of carbohydrates. It actually tastes better than a lot of other light beers, but not as good as Sam Adams light.

We have been drinking the Michelob Ultra with only 2.6 grams of carbohydrates. It actually tastes better than a lot of other light beers, but not as good as Sam Adams light.

When it comes to beer, I cannot make compromises. I must have my "real" beer! Now the average beer has between 8-12 carbs per 12-oz bottle and rarely do you find a beer that is more than 17 carbs per bottle. Since I rarely drink more than two bottles a day, I can live with that. I can't see moderate beer consumption significantly interfering with a low-carb diet. Provided, of course, that you minimize your carbs elsewhere in your diet and eat well. I read that so long as you stay under 70 grams (of carbs) a day, you are officially on a low-carb diet. (Most Americans consume well over 200 grams of carbs a day on average.)
