Where do you find Calorie counts for beer? they’re not on the label.
Some interesting facts about beer
Guinness, for all its fame, color, and bitterness, is actually a very watery beer. When I drink Guinness, I drink it faster than pretty much any other beer because it's practically like drinking bitter water. If I really want a dark beer with full body, I'll go with something like a Black Butte porter or the Tatonka Stout from BJs (the latter of which has all the bitterness you'd need, but is also very full bodied and sweet at the same time).
- Sam Adams Light (which tastes rather bizarre) has 124 calories, which is very similar to Guinness at 125 calories. So, if you want a lower calorie beer, Guinness might do the trick.

- The practically water Bud Light has 110 calories. The very tasty Skinny Dip from New Belgium, which is not classified as a light beer, also has 110 calories. So if I want a "light" beer in terms of calories, a Skinny Dip is the way to go.

With Guinness, it actually is on the label. At least on the cans.
Sometimes the manufacturer’s site has the info. You can also find sites that have lists of calorie counts for many beers.
