Brews You Can use

Criminy, all the beer bloggers must be drunk this week. We couldn't find hardly anything worth posting, so we're passing along this link. It provides a few generalized facts about the healthiness of beer. We think studies about the healthiness of beer are the equivalent of studies about the effects of sports on the brain, but, like we said, we're hurting for a post this week. In order to save yourself the trouble of clicking the link, we've reproduced the halfway interesting stuff immediately below.

If you're thinking about controlling your weight, a 12-ounce bottle or can of regular beer runs about 140 to 150 calories, whereas light beers contain from 95 to 110 calories. Dark beers and ales range from 150 to 170 calories, while nonalcoholic beers run about 45 to 75 calories for the same 12-ounce portion.
