If there’s one thing Aussie blokes love, it’s a beer.
How much? Well, at the 2018 FIFA world cup the Australian supporters drank a Russian town dry after our first game.
While our love of beer is no doubt in our blood, too much beer does have an unfortunate side-effect – the beer gut.
Fortunately, some beers are lower in calories than others – saving you a lot of calories over the course of a session.
So how does your favourite beer stack up to the other brands? Find out below.
Note: While some of the beers may come in different sized bottles and cans, we’ve based the calories off 375ml volume, which is a can. This way, no matter how you drink it you’ll know which are lower in calories.
We’re also only focusing on Aussie beers for this too.
