Calories for various beer

Estimating Calories from Alcohol by Volume

The following formula is a quick and dirty way to estimate calories in beer

  • fl. oz. * ABV = potency / 60 = beers * 150 = Estimated Calories

Example: Fullers ESB : 12 oz * 5.9 ABV = 70.8 / 60 = 1.18 * 150 = 177 calories est. (real = 187 calories)

Or, simpler, for 12 oz. : ABV * 30 – e.g., 5.9 * 30 = 177

My guess is that for sweeter, more malty beers, like the Fullers, you would want to add 10 calories to the formula, since the unfermented sugars are not accounted for by the ABV value.
