    Usually the same as in alcoholic beer.
654.2Maybe a little less than alcoholic beerSTAR::LEWISTue Mar 19 1991 16:215
    It depends on the brand. Most now have it listed on the label. My
    favorites when I was pregnant were Kaliber and O'Douls. I think 
    Kaliber was 50ish/6 oz. (but I know that it was on the label) and
    I know that O'Douls is 70 or 75 for a bottle.

    Thanks for the info.. I don't think that O'Douls listed the calories on
    the label, but I could be wrong.
    
    I'll give Kaliber a try!

654.4dry beers lowest in caloriesMR4DEC::LATVALLAFri May 24 1991 22:1215
    One thing to note with regard to calories in "alcoholic" beer-
    
    Amstel Light seems to have the fewest (at 97 per 12 ounces) of the
    light beers.
    
    Note that "dry" beers, though (based on an article in I read in either
    Time or Newsweek a year or so ago, when these beers first started to
    appear in stores) have less calories, typically, then light beers.
    While these beers are advertised for their 'dry' (no after-taste)
    flavor, this flavor is achieved by cutting down on the sugar content of
    the beer, and brewing the beer for a longer period of time.  The
    result:  low calorie beer with the same alcohol content as 'regular'
    beer (remember that 'light' beer has a lower alcohol content than
    'regular' beer).  Interesting that they don't advertise this fact about
    dry beers ....

    Kaliber is 49 calories per 12 oz.  (not per 6 oz as in a previous
    reply).

    Kaliber is in no way classifiable as beer. Even nonalcoholic beer.

654.7It's more of a beer than Old Milwaukee Light!RANGER::PESENTIOnly messages can be draggedTue May 28 1991 15:444
True...then again, it has more flavor than most American (non-boutique) brews. 
Unfortunately, it costs more, too.

If only someone could perfect a non-alcoholic, 50 calorie per pint stout...sigh.
