New Resident on Diabetic Street Found An Answer

[Silverback]

Hello neighbours. :wave:

Following on from my recent first ever post "New Resident on Diabetic Street Needs An Answer" with regard to sugar content in alcohol free beers, I decided to contact a brewer directly regarding my favourite Becks Blue. Below is a copy of the email I received today. It helped me identify how I can incorporate Becks Blue into my diet; I hope it serves to help others too.

All the best.
Dom.

Dear Dominic

Thank you for taking the time to contact AB InBev.

We do not use sugar as an ingredient in our beers. However as you've identified the carbohydrate content can be of concern to diabetics.

We hope the following information will be of assistance when discussing this further with your General Practitioner:

Carbohydrate content per 100ml:

Becks Blue 3.2 glucose grams
Stella Artois 2.95 glucose grams
Beck's 2.4 glucose grams
Boddingtons draught bitter 2.4 glucose grams
Brahma 3.5 glucose grams
Leffe blonde 5.0 glucose grams

Thanks for your interest in AB-InBev beer brands.

If we can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards

Gayle Waller

Useful Info, although it looks like there's less carbs in the alcoholic lagers?

I always take 1unit for a 330 ml bottle so it looks the same to me. I read somewhere that an alcoholic beer bottle contains 10g
