The Best Low Carb Beers in Australia

Low carb beers have been available in Australia for over 10 years now – maybe even longer. Now I haven't gone back and checked the beer archives but I think it was probably Carlton Dry which kicked off the craze, at least that's how I remember it. Since then, there's been a huge amount of lower and lower and lower carb beers coming out and they seem to be getting better too! So low carb beer is all puppies and rainbows then right? Well not quite. I don't want to rain on your parade but drinking low carb beer WILL NOT make you lose weight, more attractive or turn into Arnold. All alcohol has calories, 7 of them per gram of alcohol to be exact. Furthermore, while your liver is busy processing the alcohol, your metabolism basically stops. Victoria Health recently released a study about this as well, finding that 15% of people even drunk more, believing that it was "healthy" for them. I'm not your mother so I'll just say it once… drink responsibly and if you don't want to drink, then don't. If you feel like you have a problem with Alcohol, DrinkWise has a great list of people you can talk to. Ok, so you've decided you want a low carb beer but not sure which one to choose?
