The best low-calorie beer alternatives to try in 2023
One of the biggest weight-loss challenges is cutting out social drinking with your friends. Thankfully, nowadays, you don’t need to do so.
Thanks to breweries like Tennent’s, you can now enjoy low-calorie beer alternatives as opposed to the high-calorie traditional beers we’re used to.
This guide will hand-pick some of the best low-calorie beer alternatives that don’t compromise any taste or flavour from the originals. Read on to find out what they are!
What is considered a light beer?
A light beer tends to be a lower-calorie version of a traditional beer. Itusually contains less than 5% alcohol volume, with calories kept to a minimum, usually around 50-90 calories.
It is typically made by reducing the amount of malt used in the brewing process, which lowers the alcohol content and reduces the number of calories in the beer.
Light beers are generally milder in taste than their full-strength counterparts, with less pronounced flavours, which means you can enjoy a brilliant drinking experience minus all the calories. Perfect in preparation for that summer body!

Tennent’s Light
Tennent’s is a brewery founded in 1556 right in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. It is a low-alcohol and calorie version of their flagship beer, Tennent’s lager, and is designed to feel less filling whilst still capturing the traditional charm.
Tennent’s Light has a pale golden colour with a light and refreshing taste. It has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 3.5%, significantly lower than its original 4% lager.
Tennent’s Light is advantageous as it contains fewer calories than Tennent’s Lager. With only 60 calories in a 300ml bottle, it is a favoured option for individuals monitoring their calorie consumption.
Additionally, Tennent’s Light has a reduced carbohydrate content compared to regular lagers, making it an ideal alternative for those adhering to a low-carb diet.
Tennent’s Light is widely available in Scotland and exported to other parts of the world, meaning it is easy to get a hold of. Whether enjoying a pint at a local pub or cracking open a can at home, Tennent’s Light is a great option for beer lovers who want to enjoy a quality beer without the high alcohol content or calories.

Skinny brands lager

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos
