Don't take offense, but I've been dying to have a reason to try this out...


Let me google that for you

I never thought of it until you brought it up, but evidently there's a LOT of nutritional info on beer....

But oh yeah, before America, and our heavy meat laden diet came into prominence, beer was considered food....so there would be a lot of info on it...I mean even beersmith tells you the caloric content of your recipes...

I know, I know. Some time back the government decided to make all food producers put nutritional info on their packaging. Alcohol was not contained in this directive because it was not considered food, for one, and for another not just anybody could go buy it. Some of the rationale was that people didn't care about the nutritional info of alcohol.

That's my memory, anyhow, per my dad. He worked for NECCO for 23 years (you know, NECCO wafers) and I remember him going nuts that they had to rework all his machinery so it could print nutritional info.

Sales would go down. I should say that sales of good beer would go down. I think sales of light beer would go up.

I don't think people have a clue what beer has in it. Being fairly new to homebrewing, I didn't know until recently. I figured calories were somewhere around 150, like a sugared up soda, but it is more like 200-250 for a 5-6.5 % beer. This is what I have found from playing with beersmith at any rate, but with that being said, I have heard that beersmith may not be so accurate on it's calorie calculation.

Why do you think only the light beers tell you the details such as carbs and calories.

Do you think someone roaming the beer fridge at a nice grocery store would buy a barleywine if they saw that it had 500 calories for every 12 oz.

I misread your question...You mean On the label

The word "On" could be physically on the beer or On the subject of.
I thought you meant that you thought it wasn't studied....


Oh...sorry...It's going to have to do with FDA labeling requirements, I actually found the nutritional info of several commercial beers...but I'm sure the brewing industry has stymied any attempts to have it added to the label.

Blame the ATF for that (as you can for a lot of ills). They apparently don't want anyone to think that alcoholic beverages can (gasp!) be good for you. Nutritional info on beer labels is a no-no.
