Default Re: Good beer in GREEN bottles does not exist

I am in total agreement with RunDownHouse when it comes to Heineken in cans as opposed to bottles. I always found Heineken in the bottle to have a rather thin body. In the can it tastes like a completely different beer with a much fuller body.

By that logic, is having a whisky close to the same calories as a beer?

It's pretty close, but a 1.5oz shot of most any 80 proof liquor is going to be right around 90 calories. The liqueurs that are lower proof have sugars and flavors and such added in, so who knows with those.

I think Guinness gets its "heavy" rap because it uses beer gas for carbonation instead of straight CO2, which results in that thicker, silkier mouthfeel.

They can be pretty high.

Southern Comfort, with all its molasses, comes in at 180 calories for 1.5 oz.
